I wanted to like this so much more than I did. 🙃 It was just very mid for me, probably because it read pretty YA and that is not my vibe these days. I LOVED the atmosphere, though, Isabel Ibañez have an obsession with Egypt in common.

Overall a good time. Very interesting concept, and I loved the ending. Just a little bit disjointed in execution. I would be open to reading more from Adrienne Young.
