Hello friends! Today, I’ll be reviewing Uncharted by Erin Cashman. During December 2018, I saw this book at my local Barnes and Noble and after reading a little bit of the book while I was in the store browsing, I had to know what happened next. I decided to save the book to my wishlist and wait for a while. It wasn't until June 2019 when I saw the hardback was on sale I purchased it immediately!
About the Book:
Title: Uncharted
Author: Erin Cashman
Release Date: September 4, 2018
Genre: Fantasy
Pages: 416
My Rating: 3/5 ⭐️
Summary:
Seventeen-year-old Annabeth prefers the fantasy of her books and paintings to reality— because in reality, her mom is dead, and it was all her fault. When she accompanies her father to the funeral of some family friends who drowned, she’s surprised to find her grief reflected in the face of Griffin Bradford, the son of the couple who died. Griffin is nothing like the carefree boy she once knew. Now he’s irritable, removed, and he’s under police investigation for his parents’ deaths.
One night following the memorial service, Annabeth’s dad goes missing in the woods, and she suspects Griffin knows more about the disappearance than he’s letting on. He refuses toanswer her questions, particularly those related to the mysterious “expedition” his parents took to Ireland, where they went missing for seven months.
Annabeth fears her father isn’t lost, but rather a victim of something sinister. She launches her own investigation, tracing clues that whisper of myth and legend and death, until she stumbles upon a secret. One that some would die to protect, others would kill to expose— and which twists Annabeth’s fantasy and reality together in deadly new ways.

Thank you all so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed my review/suggestion. Until next time!

My Thoughts:
I loved the idea of this story, however it was very different than what I had anticipated. The story was kind of slow, which I didn't really care for. When I first started reading, nothing was as it seemed and there was definitely a mystery to uncover. With the police investigating the mysterious death of Griffin's parent ruled as an accident, I was curious to see what they were hiding, what they were working on, and why they were all determined to keep it a secret. There wasn't much world building for this story, which was kind of disappointing. The location of the book takes place mainly at the Bradford Estate. Even though the property is large, everything mostly takes place at the manor. When it came to the lore and myths in the story, I found them super interesting and I wish I could have learned more about it. I wanted to know everything about the myths and legend that Annabeth's parents and their friends discovered during their "expedition" to Ireland.
Annabeth was a very unique character, she had a ton of development throughout the story after facing so much hardship in her life over a secret that she had never known. After everyone tried to keep her in the dark, I was surprised that even after she figured everything out they still tried to keep her in the dark. When it came to Griffin, I honestly felt terrible for him. He went through so much in this story, both physically and mentally. Griffin was kind of a dark and mysterious character and everything about him definitely make me curious about what had happened to him. When it came to Griffin and Annabeth's relationship in the story, it was a very sweet relationship even though it wasn't as prominent in the story. I will admit, during the final chapter of the story, it did kind of end abruptly, but it was still a good ending. Overall, this was an enjoyable standalone.
