Oh. My. God. That ending?!?!!! Is there a support group? How am I supposed to wait over a year for the conclusion?? I don’t know how to function right now.

I basically begged for my eArc of this book! I’m not even joking, I literally begged! I was enthralled by the idea of a 1999 The Mummy/Death on the Nile mash-up, but I was not prepared for how much more this story was going to be. There are so many twists and turns, bad guys who are good, good guys who are bad, and people I haven’t even figured out yet. Some of them I figured out and some of them blindsided me. But NOTHING hit me harder than that ending.

It’s 2am on a Wednesday morning and I’m here writing this review because I could not put the book down and now I’m distraught it’s over! Probably going to be my favorite book of 2023 or at least top 3 at minimum.

If you enjoy a sassy, strong, female lead character… a broody, mysterious, and very enticing male hero (gah I hope he’s the hero)… and some Indiana Jones level bad guys/action… then this is the book for you!

Isabel… Elvira?!? How could you???!

Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley and the author who took pity on me, for my copy in exchange for my unbiased review.
