I received a free copy of this book for an unbiased review. But honestly, if this book had been talked about more in online groups or a top Amazon rating I would have picked this up anyways. I LOVED the intensity this book brought. Action, DANGER, lust, extreme ups, and downs are all there. The cover is unique and beautiful. Not that you should pick a book by its cover.

Rachel and Chase are treasure hunters, but that might be the only normal basic part of this story. There are monks, cursed swords, Yakuza and Geisha. You get multiple characters points of view and it isn't jumbled or crazy. You can follow it and get a clear idea and understanding of the character. The intensity is brought here, like seriously. Everyone is after this sword, and everyone has their own reasons. The main character is even beheaded!!! Only spoiler your getting.

Honestly, I am probably going to read this book again soon. It is so different than most of the other types of books out there. It's a whole new culture and atmosphere to read about. This is what really got me the most. You can believe the world that is built actually exists. You can feel the presence of the people. I believe people should give this a shot. Let's put it this way... I am going to be picking up the first and third books in the series.

Kaylin Mcfarren has a great series with threads, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I'm very glad I took the chance. It has action, adventure, suspense, and even a little romance. The romance wasn't overboard, and was very well intertwined in the story...It didn't feel forced at all.

Buried Threads is the second in a series. I didn't read the first one(yet!) but it read very well as a standalone. Of course after finishing this one, and being very impressed, I am going to grab Severed Threads(first book) as soon as I can.

The detail in everything from dialog, to locations was amazing. The way she captured the Japanese culture was absolutely spot on! I can't even find the words to tell you how well Mcfarren has weaved together a treasure hunting adventure, and a suspenseful- save the world tale, with just enough romance so perfectly well.

Following Rachel and Chase on their contract in Japan was great, and feeling the dynamic relationship between the two characters as the story progresses feels so real. Character development throughout the entire book was excellent, and balanced.

The pacing is very fast but smooth, and the author doesn't miss a beat or rush details. I lost myself in the story for quite a while, because I couldn't put it down once I started. This is indeed a page turner!

There is so much to love about this book. I can't stop thinking about it even after I'm done reading it, and I will defiantly recommend it to everyone over the holidays! ( )

As treasure hunters, Rachel Lyons and Chase Cohen are used to having all sorts of adventures, but nothing could have prepared them for their new mission in Japan: looking for two swords and a knife that once belonged to Prince Dai Ngami. In their quest to find the lost treasure, they will face Buddhist monks, yakuza, a geisha, ghosts, sharks and a host of different dangers. If they fail the repercussions could be disastrous, but will they succeed in preventing the worst natural disaster in Japan’s history?

Buried Threads by Kaylin McFarren is the second book in the Thread series, after Severed Threads which introduced us to Rachel and Chase. In this new book, the story is certainly original and full of adventure. In addition, the Japanese culture described in Buried Threads is fascinating, and I learned a lot about the worlds of the yakuza and geishas. However, some action scenes were confusing because details were missing in descriptions. I’m thinking in particular of the moment right before Yuki, Rachel and Chase enter the Kofun tomb. The action going on in this scene wasn’t clear, and the smoke seemed to miraculously disappear from the cave. In addition, some of the plot lines were a bit far-fetched, especially the fact that Shinzo, the Buddhist monk who hired Rachel and Chase, seemed to appear whenever the main characters needed him. I also thought that the erotic scenes distracted the reader from the adventure and mystery. Finally, spelling mistakes throughout the book could have been avoided with a bit more editing.

While Buried Threads is an entertaining read for people who love adventure and action, the book has some flaws that could have been prevented. Let’s hope that the next installment in the series, Banished Threads, will be better.

Buried Threads by Kaylin McFarren was sent to me for free in exchange for an honest review.

Buried Threads by Kaylin McFarren is a 2013 Creative Edge Publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book Blurb:
Rachel Lyons and her partner Chase Cohen accept a contract to recover a lost priceless treasure in the Sea of Japan. However, upon arriving in Tokyo, they soon discover their mission is more complicated and dangerous than they originally believed. In order to prevent a natural disaster from striking Japan and killing millions, they must form an alliance with yakuza members, dive into shark-infested waters and recover three ancient cursed swords...before time runs out.

Rachel and Chase are experts in treasure hunting. Their current assignment takes them to Japan. When they arrive they realize they have gotten more than they bargained for. The sword they seek carries a curse that could pretty much wipe out Japan. Desperate, they make alliances with some very dangerous people.
Rachel and Chase have more than a working relationship. They are bonded in many ways and must lean on one another during the most tense adventure they have ever experienced. By tense, I mean TENSE!
The Japanese culture is very interesting . I don't know a great deal about Japanese traditions but I believe the author did her homework. There is a mystery, adventure, crime, a touch of the paranormal and romance. Once I started this book I just couldn't stop reading it. There is a lot going on and you will have to put aside any distractions and really pay attention. This book is quite unlike any other book you may encounter in the mystery or paranormal genre. I applaud the author's research and the ability to combine all the elements she used into one absorbing read. One thing I should point out is that this book does contain a number of erotic sex scenes. (That is not a critisism- it's just information I thought I should pass along)
Overall I enjoyed this one and would recommend it mystery suspense readers, paranormal romance readers and those that like action adventure. I give this one an A ( 4 stars) ( )

Rachel and Chase are experts at recovering lost treasure –and their next assignment is in Japan. But all is not as it seems and what should be a straightforward job to retrieve an ancient Samurai sword – turns out to be anything but…
Despite being slightly out of my comfort zone (being unfamiliar with Japanese culture) I soon relaxed into ‘Buried Threads’ because I found myself in the hands of a talented writer, who knit together the threads of erotic romance, gangs, cults, mystery and Japanese society with consummate skill.
I ended up enjoying the mix of cultures: the obvious physical attraction between Chase and Rachel, compared to the more subtle but incendiary, highly charged Japanese eroticism. In a book with an attractive Japanese monk, a surprise sibling, curses and decapitation –the scene is set for a rollicking adventure. The story grabs you, much like a screenplay, and this book could easily make the transition to Hollywood blockbuster. ( )
