BOOK REVIEW ✨
Rating: 5⭐️
Let me just start by saying, if you’re not into magic, ancient mysteries, or handsome archaeologists, then this book is definitely not for you. But if you enjoy a good romp through nineteenth-century Buenos Aires and Cairo, sprinkled with enough magic to make Harry Potter jealous, then strap in, my friend, because What the River Knows is about to take you on a wild ride.
Set in nineteenth-century Buenos Aires, this book follows the fabulous life of Inez Olivera, a girl who has it all: wealth, status, and a knack for attracting drama. But when tragedy strikes and her globe-trotting parents die suddenly, Inez inherits their fortune.
As Inez unravels the secrets of her parents’ disappearance, she discovers that there’s more to this mystery than meets the eye. With danger lurking around every pyramid corner, Inez must rely on her wits, her charm, and a healthy dose of ancient magic to survive.
Oh, and did I mention Whit, the guardian’s assistant? He’s not just handsome; he’s infuriatingly handsome. You know, the kind of handsome that makes you simultaneously swoon and want to punch something. And wouldn’t you know it, he’s determined to make Inez’s life as difficult as humanly—or should I say, archaeologically—possible. But, Inez isn’t just some damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining khakis to save her. No, she’s got s***k, she’s got moxie, and she’s got a sketch pad that’s mightier than any sword. Well, maybe not, but it’s certainly more useful for recording artifacts and drawing handsome archaeologists.
So, if you’re in the mood for a tale of adventure, romance, and enough ancient magic to make Indiana Jones do a double take, then this is the book for you. Just be warned: there’s a massive cliffhanger, and the sequel won’t be published until November.
💬 If you know in advance there’s a cliffhanger, will you wait for the sequel before reading the book?
