What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez

5.0

What The River Knows is a historical fantasy about A girl who will do whatever it takes to get answers. Inez defies her uncle time and again by showing up in Egypt to find out what really happened to her parents after their death. Along the way she becomes an invaluable asset to his hunt for Cleopatras final resting place. This story has epic adventures, harrowing rescues, pining romance and plenty of deceit. This is perfect for anyone who had an obsession with Egypt in middle school (so by that I mean everyone), or all of us obsessed with Indians Jones and the mummy. I especially loved the rapport between Inez and Whit throughout the book. The only thing I’ll say is that it’s a slow steady build to a quick climax. But! It sets us up perfectly for book two coming sometime in 2024 and I can not wait!
