This Fearless Girl 12/1

Wilders and Jacobs DO NOT MIX. That has been drilled into Dakota Wilder's head since she was a child. To say her father was obsessed with finding the Wilder Treasure would be an understatement. It's what he lived for and no way was he going to let anyone other than a Wilder find that treasure. When he goes missing on a hunt, Dakota jumps into action. It's just been her and her dad for practically her entire life. Well, her, her dad and the treasure. When the search gets called off, Dakota still refuses to give up. She still searches for her dad, hunts for the treasure and tries to finish school to get out of the small podunk town that despises her. With her dad out of the way, the Jacobs seem to be making their move. Using the Jacobs might be the only way to get the help she needs to find her dad but how much is she willing to give up? How far is she willing to go to keep the treasure to the Wilders?

This is the first book in a new series and man did it hook me in. I always love E.M.'s work. That's never a surprise for me. She's yet to write anything that I haven't just eaten up. But it was nice to see a new, different type of series. It has a bit of an Indiana Jones, National Treasure feel mixed with some Hatfields and McCoys. I don't think I've read any other RH with the treasure hunting plot, and I really enjoyed it. 

Now this is a bully romance and these boys can be downright mean. Hello, feuding families. There are times when they can be genuine and real and just heartwarmingly sweet as well. There are moments where you get a look at what they are hiding inside and those are the parts that you hold on to and love. 

Dakota is an interesting female lead. She's grown up without things. She's used to that. She knew they didn't have any money and her father did the best he could. She knew he was also focused on finding the treasure. She's also grown up in a town that doesn't like her. She's used to the insults. But when Stone, Lucas and Wyatt show up, she's not used to THEM seeing her that way. Them showing up is also making her have to face some truths she never thought of before.

I was thoroughly hooked into this book. Riveted to my seat to see what was going to happen next and then, y'all...E.M. killed me with that ending. Like I know this book is about the Superstition Mountains but damn Erin just through us off the cliff. It's kinda like a bus you see coming and you think surely it's going to stop before it plows over you but no, the damn bus just hits you head on and knocks you out of your shoes. What the actual....*breathe Anna* so yea, this book ends on a big ole cliffy that has me hoping like crazy that E.M. has already written at least half of the next book. I'm going to need this bad boy in my life pretty durn quick.
