This was a good short story. The author was very descriptive, and she captured the scene and surroundings perfectly. The story made me feel like I was actually in the jungle with these characters.
Aside from a few punctuation and spelling errors, my biggest critique is that the story doesn't seem all that original. Jonathan is a wealthy, uptight know-it-all who belittles Riley, the expert guide, through the entire story. When their differences reach a boiling point, the story progresses exactly as one would expect it to. I did like the petroglyph reveal, that was clever. However, the ending was too predictable.
Overall this author certainly has talent, especially with her details and setting, and if she continues to write and add depth to her twists and mysteries, she'll be great.

I read this twice, as I missed the relationship between Riley and Jonathan first time. Now a have a little youtube in my brain of the characters that makes the story real. I have Jeff Bridges as Riley and James Franco ( "134 Hours") movie, as Jonathan. I am in favor of a sequel. Let's bring Jonathan back with both arms and have him find that treasure. I love the stories of the Southwest and hidden treasures. I loved this story.

Forgotten Canyon is a clever short with characters that jumped right out of the page. Prepare for pleasant shot of adventure with just enough humor and unpredictability to make for great quick read. Buy this one for sure!
