Week 50 Review: Where the Library Hides

From Goodreads:

The stunning conclusion to the story that started in What the River Knows. A lush immersive historical fantasy set in Egypt filled with adventure, and a rivals-to-lovers romance like no other!

1885, Egypt

Inez Olivera is left reeling from her cousin Elvira's murder, and her mother's betrayal, and when Tío Ricardo issues an ultimatum about her inheritance, she's left with only one option to consider.

Marriage to Whitford Hayes.

Former British soldier, her uncle's aide de camp, and one time nemesis, Whit has his own mysterious reasons for staying in Egypt. With her heart on the line, Inez might have to bind her fate to the one person whose secret plans could ruin her.

My Review:
I loved reading this book! I loved the first, and I'm really glad that this was a series, because the way things ended in the first book, there had to be a sequel! And oh, what a great sequel it was! I loved being back in this world, with these characters!

That her mom betrayed her, and set in motion her cousin getting murdered to recover what her mom stole, yeah, that was difficult. She went through a lot, and I loved seeing how she was dealing with it! She was determined to set things right, and so great to read about! 

Marriage to Hayes? Yeah that was an interesting prospect, given their sniping at one another. And there was that message that he sent his brother-I had to know what they wanted from her. But I was not looking forward to the truth coming out, since they had been growing closer. 

This historical world with a bit of magic, it's really brought to life, and the story was so entertaining and engaging, and I had to keep reading! I had to know the answers to all the questions that had been raised, and I loved how it dealt with them, and how it wrapped up! She definitely went through a lot, struggled with all the lies and secrets, her faith in her judgement, but I loved where things left off!

This was a fantastic read and I loved reading it, and I can't wait to read more by Isabel Ibañez, including a possible spin off with his sister!
