First I want to say a huge thank you to NetGalley for approving my arc request. I've been eyeballing this book since I first saw it on Instagram and I've been jealous and envious of everyone reading it.

Ok, now I can scream from the rooftops about how much I enjoyed this book! I could barely put it down, it had me hooked from page one. I really love Inez and her headstrong spirit for adventure and, even in the face of literally everyone telling her no, she still said no right back and kept on doing what she truly felt in her heart was right.

Without revealing too much of the twists of this plot I can say, it took me a bit by surprise. I'm not one who catches on quickly to mysteries, and personally I'm ok with that because it keeps the genre exciting, but this was so much more than just a mystery: it's a historical fiction of one of my favorite topics: Egypt. I mean, honestly, what person on the planet isn't intrigued by the country and their mythology? I'll wait while you try to name one. I was enraptured as a small child and, true to the comparison, loved The Mummy. So to say I knew I was going to love this from the start is an understatement.

Whit is wonderful, even in his gruffness and I think he balanced out Inez perfectly. But I do not trust him at all. Overall, I very much enjoyed this book and am so glad I was afforded the opportunity to read it before it's release.I know this will be a hit on the market for anyone who likes mysteries, historical fictions, maybe has a love of Shakespeare or maybe even a hint of Anne Rice, definitely for fans of Agatha Christie mysteries, as this has a similar feel.
