    She's your typical girl with an average life: She has loving parents, three best friends, and decent grades. Sounds boring. Right? Well, her average life takes quite a turn when her parents decide to send her across the country to live a family she has not heard of. Yeah, this is one of those stories. But did I mention that Riley isn't your typical outgoing and chatty girl. Hell, she is the definition of socially awkward. So, just how is she going to cope with two new parents and several hormonal teenage boys. Surely, she would go insane. Right? But what Riley doesn't know is that everyone, like her, carries baggage and has a story to tell. Some stories might be plain and simple but others might be totally heartbreaking and devastating.

    What we don’t know is why. Excavations at a recently discovered Mayan site near Valladolid in the Yucatan unearth a codex – the first to be discovered in over 50 years. A mangled body is found among the ruins. It belongs to Father Colvin McNeery, an expert on the Gospel of Matthew, the only Gospel to mention the Star of Bethlehem. The local police say he was killed by a jaguar. Dr. Isabel Reyes, renegade daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Mexico, is called away from her clinic to issue a death certificate. She wonders, when she sees the claw marks, what sort of jaguar is left-handed? Ex-rabbi and scholar Simon Press has just seen another of his controversial lectures on the spread of Christianity end in violence. He’s back at his hotel nursing a scotch when he gets the news that his friend and colleague, Colvin McNeery, is dead in the Yucatan. Press has always been resentful of Christianity’s success; what he finds in McNeery’s translation of the codex will allow him to get even. Detective First Class Benito Rufino of the Antiquities Police is pulled off a sting he’s spent nine months setting up, and ordered to Valladolid. He’s furious until he finds out why: a codex worth $500 million pesos is missing. Leon Cortes - devout Catholic and a direct descendant of the Conquistador - has become drug overlord for all of the Yucatan because he believes his faith requires him to mortify his soul as his Savior mortified his body. Now he’s ordered by the Vatican to find the codex and send it to them. The 1500 year old codex contains an account of a holy man, a savior who is born under a bright star to a virgin, performs miracles, dies a horrible death, and is resurrected. If McNeery’s translation of the codex is correct, then something is radically wrong with the conventional accounts of the European discovery of the Americas. Or - and this is the only other possibility - something is radically wrong with Christianity’s notion of itself. Mayan Star is mystery/thriller with a Borgesian twist.

    Each year they would declare a winner on who would be the first too take another girls V-card, and with each year, the pressure would be increased and the boys aim at more girls. Last year, it’s said the group created a website, broadcasting the girls they’ve already had to the entire school, as well as anyone else paying attention, but only if they had a password to the site.There were six boys, they were all gorgeous, and they were constantly referred by girls as the “Sexy Six”. The first two years of my high school life, I had gone seemingly unnoticed by the Sexy Six, almost as if I was one of the girls none of them wanted, though almost all of my friends had been claimed by them. I, of course, didn’t complain. I would rather be seen as a grenade than a trophy, but I was still slightly wounded… who wouldn’t be if all their friends were picked long ago? I avoided the boys anyway, never succumbing to my envy and trying to get chosen simply so I wouldn’t be left out. When it was time for my last year of high school to begin, I had hoped they would just leave me alone.To bad the victim, is me.
