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.
Yo no one's surprise, this book is as bad as the first if not worst Characters super flat and full of stereotypes
After the first book that reads like Dora the Explorer visita Egypt I had to continue with the 2nd one. What a disaster. The characters are flatter than the paper they are written in.
Cliché over cliché and no substance whatsoever.
Still have way to go and I don't know if I'll be able to force myself through it
The first book in the duology, "What the River Knows" had its flaws but was captivating and entertaining overall. It ended on a cliffhanger and so I was waiting quite impatiently for the sequel and read it almost as soon as it became available at my library. Unfortunately, it disappointed. It is quite a page turner as it lives off the many twists in the story. But those twists sometimes come off as rather constructed for the sake of the plot and are sometimes downright absurd. The latter does have some entertainment value of its own, I admit, but is not why I picked up the book. Some of the aspects I liked about the first book (e.g. the excavation, Inez's exploration) aren't present in the second. And on top of that, Whit, the other main protagonist, comes off as a horrible person everyone should stay away from.
