I Do Not Trust You A Novel Laura J Burns Melinda Metz Books

I loved this book from start to finish! Memphis and Ashwin are dynamic characters and the plot is fully engaging. It’s a good choice for anyone who enjoys adventure, action, coming of age stories, and/or mythology and archeology.

I Do Not Trust You A Novel Laura J Burns Melinda Metz Books Reviews

I Do Not Trust You by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz is a young adult action and adventure fantasy that is based off of mythology. Think of this one as sort of a female teenage Indiana Jones type of character trotting around the globe to save the day from ancient gods.

Memphis “M” Engle was raised by globetrotting parents and was speaking multiple languages and exploring ancient ruins right after she learned to walk and talk. Trained in martial arts and smarter than her teachers M should have been following in her parents footsteps but after losing her mother first and then her father in an accident M is being raised by guardians that just want her to be a “normal” high school student.

However, one night when leaving a party M feels she’s being followed and before she knows it she finds herself confronting Ashwin Sood. Equipped with a note written in a language only M and her father know Ash convinces M that her father is alive and the only way to rescue him is to track down the pieces of an ancient statue.

I Do Not Trust You is the second book I’ve read by this author duo and one thing I definitely can say is they certainly do get creative. I loved that this one was based on mythology with the dueling cults looking to acquire the missing artifacts and our teen duo set off on an adventure. I think for me though what led me to give this one 3.5 stars was after the first couple of stops the story seemed to just level out and lost a little of the wow factor. Overall though it was certainly a fun read that I enjoyed.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
I Do Not Trust You reminded me of National Treasure. You know, the movie with Nicolas Cage where he goes on a treasure hunt to find a treasure hidden hundred of years ago. All the clues were on national monuments and he had to get creative in getting them. It also reminded me of the Indiana Jones movies. Mainly when Ash and M were trying to get to the clues. But this book fell short for me. As much as I enjoyed reading about Ash and M’s antics around the world, it got repetitive towards the end. The plotline seemed like it was going in circles. I wasn’t engaged. The end of the book did pull me back in because of what happened. If it wasn’t for that battle scene, the book would have been a wash.

I liked M but couldn’t connect with her. I couldn’t wrap my head around a teenager who was an expert in long-lost languages and ancient cultures. She also acted so much older than what she was. If I didn’t know that she was underage, I would have pegged her for at least 20-21. I did like her moves with the bo staff. It came in handy keeping away unwanted advances from boys and taking enemies out. I also liked how she took Ash under her wing.

I felt awful for Ash. It looked like he went from one abusive situation to another. There was a twist with him that surprised me. Not only with what he could do but what was done to him. I wanted to smack the heck out of his parents for the years of abuse that they put him through. The things that they said and did to him were awful. All because of what he was. On the other hand, I didn’t think that Patrick from the Eye was any better. Yes, he rescued Ash but he also kept him under strict surveillance. I liked how he got himself back towards the end of the book. He deserved it.

Like I mentioned above, I Do Not Trust You reminded me of a hybrid National Treasure/Indiana Jones. Since I liked both of those movies, I figured would like this book. And I did for the first half of the book. But the second half of the book got repetitive and the plotline lagged. It seemed like it was going in circles and I couldn’t keep my interest in the book.

There is no romance in I Do Not Trust You. Which was amazing and one of the things I liked about the book. I like romance, a lot, but there are certain books where romance shouldn’t be touched. I Do Not Trust you is one of those books. M and Ash’s relationship was a friendship. Loved it!!

The locations where the clues were located were amazing. The one that freaked me out was the Paris Catacombs. I have read about that place and it is creepy. To have M and Ash actually go through them, chilling.

The secondary characters were kind of eh in I Do Not Trust You. Honestly, the only one that I liked was Mike. I was as surprised as Ash when they went to Thailand to see Mike. My reaction was laughter and I thought to myself “I should have known!!”

The end of I Do Not Trust You was amazing. It made up for the rest of the book. I also liked how the author left it open for another book.

**I chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**
