For full disclosure I personally know the author and consider him a good friend. With that being said that was the reason I bought and read the book in the first place. I honestly did not expect too much out of the book or story line. After reading the book I was extremely (and pleasantly) surprised.
The book is very well written and edited. From the very beginning until the end the story line, prose, character and story development has you connecting with each character on a personal level. Not only is the book filled with action and mystery. But the author's ability to intertwine multiply story lines and interconnect characters and their stories across continents was what I enjoyed most about the book. I also personally know some of people his characters are based on in the book. And the descriptions in the book are spot on and humorous.
I can not wait until he releases more in the series. Congratulations Kobe. It is well deserved.

Great Read... Loved It!!!
It's best for readers to dive-in spoiler free so it's difficult to say too much about the plot, because I personally hate spoilers. What I will say is that this is a debut novel that definitely doesn't read like the work of someone new to thrillers or writing. It's perfectly paced, from its addictive beginning to it's superb ending; guaranteed not an easy book to put down... What really makes Lazarus Curse: The First Secret such a gripping novel is Kobe's understanding & knowledge of mythology and history with the addition of action and adventure. I personally loved how Kobe takes you on a trip around the world and shares such a great thriller and action story with it all merged together as a love story as well. I am excitedly waiting the next book in the Lazarus Curse series.
