A trip to the breathtaking Monument Valley and an extraordinary encounter with a Navajo guide seem to hold the key to who Jacob really is.

Jacob had always felt different to his parents and that he didn't fit in but it isn't until after their death that he discovers a deeply hidden secret about his true identity. At the same time he's puzzled by the strange dreams he keeps having and what they mean but it's only when his job takes him to the US that the pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place and he soon finds himself caught in the middle of a whole new situation...
The reader is given a clue as to Jacob's true identity in the opening chapter but are then taken on the journey of discovery alongside Jacob as he learns more about who he really is, his heritage and how he can play a part in averting a catastrophic disaster.
Although I'm a sucker for a good romance story, the romance element between Jacob and Rosenya in Dancing in the Rain was almost secondary as I was hooked into the mystery element and wanting to know more.
The descriptive writing was excellent, I could almost envisage what Monument Valley looked like and what life is like as part of a Navajo nation.
A fantastic story from start to finish, I cannot wait to read more from Amanda James in the future. Both novels I've read so far have been completely different, I still have Somewhere Beyond the Sea to read for myself as Emma did a guest review of it for me, so I'm interested to hear what she has in store for us with her next novel.
I'd like to thank Liz at Choc Lit for sending me a copy of this eBook to review.
