The FMC is not my favorite, I wish she had more of a backbone/not as gullible, especially with everything that has happened since the first book. I also wasn’t sure how the author was going to get me to want to forgive the MMC of his deceit from the first book, but she did it. Although I could see the treachery from a mile away that pushed them back together.
**For anyone upset at the lack of love scenes; I know this is YA - but the wedding night description in the first book was totally unsatisfying - in this book the love scene is much better handled. I appreciate her effort in at least making me feel more of the characters emotions this time instead of “And they woke up the next morning”.**
However, I did enjoy the storyline and the twists and turns were twisting and turning! *Note, the writing describing some of the locations is a bit vague, so the some scenes become a bit muddled if you’re a visualizer*. I was shocked by one of the character reveals at the end, and bitting my nails through the action scenes. Were the action scenes realistic? No, but I think if you can put that aside, then you could possibly enjoy this book.*Think The Mummy movie 2 ending for reference*.
Am I happy with the ending, for the most part. I am glad that at least the loss of Inez’s fortune wasn’t for naught. IMO I think the mother will escape and come after them , but we will have to see what happens if she writes a third book on the SIL Arabella.

literally picks up from where the first book ends and throws you back into the adventure and mystery of cairo.
there are so many twists and turns that i could not put the book down! a wonderful mix of historical fiction, magical realism, romance and escapade.
