The X-Files: Ruins

(Synopsis) - When a well-connected American archaeologist, Cassandra Rubicon, disappears while exploring the lost Mayan city of Xitaclan, the incident becomes a case for FBI agents Mulder and Scully. They are investigators assigned to the X-Files, the strange and inexplicable cases the FBI wants to keep hidden -- cases involving the paranormal, the supernatural, and possibly, the extraterrestrial.
(Review) - I enjoyed this book, that is when it decided what kind of story it wanted to be! Like i haven't been so up and down with a book but still interested in the story in my life. As i am a die hard fan of the Maya and Aztecs and the idea of old ruins, ancient aliens and lost technology, so the idea of old mayan ruins lost to time rediscovered where the research crew goes missing without a trace like the congo, im all here for it!! But it felt like it had to throw in drug lords and rebels into the story and blood sacrifices. Now don't get me wrong that's interesting in it's own story, but when the story keeps changing it's mind from that ancient aliens back to drug lords and rebels and then back to blood sacrifice, and on and on. Don't get me wrong i was interested as they are all fascinating topics but to be tossed about so much I was worried this was going to be the theme all the way through. So blessed my soul when they finally choose the story line i wanted and stuck with it, i could relax with a huge smile on my face that i knew i was going to enjoy what was to come and i did. So overall apart from the flippy floppy story plot changing, I'd still say give this one ago, as once it sticks the landing and finds the story thread it wants to follow then you'll enjoy the book more!

"Don't get me wrong im really enjoying this book, so far it's a solid 4 star (Great) book, but at times it feels like the book doesn't know what type of story it wants to be (supernatural science fiction or real gritty drug lord) story 😅 I'll keep going but it's only now figuring out what it wants to be & im glad it's going in the direction i hoped it would!!!"
