This book is a horror novel. Four friends are vacationing in Cancun when they meet a German who says his brother is missing. The brother had met a woman who was on an archeological dig and went to the dig with her. He has not returned. The four friends, Eric and Stacy, Jeff and Amy, along with Mathias, go to search for the brother. The ruins are 13 miles from a town that they traveled to by bus from Cancun. When they reach the area, they are warned away from going up the hill to the ruins, however they don't heed the warnings. From there, everything goes downhill for them. They are held prisoner on the hill due to its sinister nature.
This was a very far-fetched story, but I suppose that is what made it horror. The stupidity of these 4 people to go off searching for a missing person without notifying anyone of their plans, or even having a plan, was so irresponsible.
I felt the story dragged on and on and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
This book was not for me.
