This series was exciting, that’s for sure. Lots of twists and turns, some a little bit much but it was a lot of fun. Similar complaint to other books, where I feel this would have been better as an adult book or it just felt like it was lacking depth. I am knocking off at least 0.5 stars for the amount of the times the author talked about Elvira’s head being blow apart 🙃🙃

I adored this series so much! The banter between Whit and Inez was so fun to read. They absolutely have chemistry, and it’s rare I enjoy both the FMC and MMC without one of them getting on my nerves.

Loved the historical fiction and magical elements, Romantasy is my preferred genre but this was different in a good way

The plot was written beautifully and very clever with foreshadowing. Many plot twists and turns to keep you engaged. I am glad that the whole book did not take place in the library like you would expect, and that it was different from the first book.

The slow burn, enemies to lovers, angst, touch her and die was

I did not love book 2 as much as book 1....

However, I was kept on my toes the entire time. The action didn't get good until the end. there are a few twists and turns I saw coming but also did not see coming. This was a sweet ending to Inez and Whit.

I really enjoyed this book, but I think some of the pacing was a bit off and could have been better. I think the ending was rushed and could have explored the scene in the library a bit more thoroughly. Overall, though, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved the first book, What the River Knows, and to everyone whose favorite book as a kid was Egyptology.

Loved it, maybe could’ve done one more book to flesh out some things and I had to suspend my belief a couple times throughout but I had a blast!

I’ve never rolled my eyes so many times during a book what actually was this oh my god
