The Desert Temple is a quick dystopian science fiction/fantasy read with a tiny dash of m/m romance that hangs in the background. Vernon and Harold have set out on a quest to fulfill a promise Vernon made to eradicate the Ancient technology that destroyed a city. They know it could be dangerous, but are they truly prepared for all of the challenges that might lie before them.

Overall, I enjoyed this one. (I haven't read the first book in the series; I think having done so might have helped me jump into this one a bit more quickly, but there were only a couple of things I had to wrap my head around, so I don't think reading the first one is necessary. As with any series, though, I'd recommend reading in order.) Even though it's short, I got a great sense of the world and the characters and their connection doesn't seem forced or rushed in any way. I do wish it was longer - I guess that means I need to track down book one and keep my eyes open for any future books from this author.
