"The Last Machaca by Aleks Lyons is a densely plotted novel with surprising moments that will take the reader's breath away. Had me entertained more than I could have imagined." - Readers' Favorite Review

Michael Waites, a successful Los Angeles psychologist, begins to unravel as he finds himself experiencing sexual torment.

Without warning, he finds himself falling in love with a client who is gorgeous, captivating, and also married. In order to maintain his ethics and professionalism, Michael travels to his aunt's estate in South America to determine next steps. When he arrives, a mysterious death signals the return of a long lost legend that says if you live a life of fear, the Machaca comes to you in the form of an insect whose bite creates insatiable and often deadly sexual urges...however, if you live a life of love, the Machaca comes to you in the form of a beautiful woman with healing powers.

Obsessed by the local whisperings that suggest the Machaca is no mere myth, Michael wonders if this creature, along with a local shaman can be his cure. Michael's fervid search for the Machaca drives him deeper into the darkness of the treacherous jungle and even deeper into the recesses of his own mind. It is here that he fights for survival, questions his sanity, and is forced to confront what he really left behind.

From Los Angeles, California to the depths of the Amazon, get lost in the dynamic interplay of a man, a woman, their sexuality and a twelfth century myth.
