Where the Library Hides (Secrets of the Nile #2)

by Isabel Ibañez

This ones going to be about the Library of Alexandria 100%

I had fallen in love with Whitford Hayes. I loved him with my whole heart, despite my head telling me to have better sense. But I loved him in a way that meant forever. I hadn’t known for sure until this moment, as I stared into his face, which was somehow vulnerable and remote all at once.

“Are you sure?” “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my entire life.” “Let’s get married, then,” I said, breathless.

hadn’t noticed he’d been that agitated while he waited for my answer. A thrilling feeling thrummed under my skin, making my heart pulse. I’d made Whitford Hayes nervous.

“Proposing to you was my choice and no one else’s,” he said. “In the utter chaos of my life, you are the only thing that makes sense. You asked me what my reasons are, and I don’t know all of them yet, but I do know one important thing.” He took a shaky breath, his eyes never leaving my face, and the raw emotion lurking in their depths almost keeled me over. “You’re the one I want, Inez.”

“She’s processing, but please continue until it’s time for the vows,” Whit said, amused. “She’ll come back eventually.”

I love how he knows her well enough to know this

He sat in one of the pews and quietly read his Bible as I worked through my vows.

I dont know why this is so funny to me

“Stop thinking about everything you want to ask him,” Whit said. “You’ll have time to ask your questions after the ceremony.” “How on earth did you know what I was thinking?” “Because I know you.”

I remembered everything I loved about him. He made me laugh, and he was loyal. He would honor his promise to me. I was sure of it. I’d made the right decision. We were married. Married.

I NEED YOU IN PHILAE STOP DISASTER COME QUICK STOP BRING A DOCTOR STOP ABDULLAH

NONONO

I understood perfectly. Ricardo would make me rue the day I ever laid eyes on Inez Emilia Olivera.

What does that mean!?

The tents had all been torn apart, and there were stretches of sand stained with blood.

NOOO

Abdullah licked his dry lips. “It was Mr. Fincastle.”

WHAT!?

my husband now had total control over my inheritance as permitted by law.

That is NOT good

A rap on the door interrupted my thoughts.

Oh no

barely heard her hushed reply. “Yes.”

I really want to believe her because Inez needs a friend for whatevers happening with Whit, but shes probably a really good actress

“It explained so much—why my mother was gone for half the year, every year, for some mysterious job in South America.” “South America?” I repeated dumbly. “In Argentina.”

Holy crap they have the same mom

“I’m your sister.”

Called it

“It looks like an Ouroboros.”

The alchemical paper thing

“I’m sure that he would have,” Ahmed said slowly, “if he hadn’t withdrawn every last shilling in your account.”

WHIT NO

and I knew I’d never see the gun again.

I feel bad but also karma

“What if we found the actual culprits?” Farida asked.

Yayy I'm so happy they'll all be a team

Isadora nodded slowly. “I know when and where the gate will move.”

I really hope they can trust her but what if she's leading them into a trap

“Here—I think it’s down this way.”

Im not sure about this...

Isadora blushed and apologized profusely, again and again, for her error. I got the sense that she hated to be mistaken—about anything.

Not sure it was an error. I think she was leading them somewhere else

something blue

The asp!

“But the founder would like a word with you.” His

Nooo she's been recognized as she looks like her mother

The way he spoke felt familiar to me.

The guy who picked your mom up from Philae? Or Leo?

Basil Sterling,

NO NOT THIS JERK

Ricardo appeared horrified. “Is this a teacup?” “It is,” Lorena confirmed. “Isn’t it beautiful? I think the blue pattern is divine. Don’t you agree?” “Er,” Ricardo said, eyeing the porcelain cup as if it were a venomous spider. “I won’t be invited to a tea in here, Lorena. What the devil do you expect me to do with this?”

“So if I don’t answer your call, you can call again and again and again, flooding our room with water?” Ricardo asked in an aghast tone. “You’re welcome,” Lorena said, grinning.

Something burned.

The library of Alexandria

“Then tell me why you followed me to an opium den the other night.”

I KNEW IT WAS HER

Whit had lost the power of speech when he had seen me.

Why dont we get his point of views for this stuff!!

“Where’s Isadora?”

Oh no oh no

Mr. Sterling’s features twisted, and he hastily yanked a handkerchief from within his pocket and coughed loudly into it.

Right, hes sick

How do you like being followed, asshole?

An hour passed, then two,

I dont like this....get out now Whit

Great Library of Alexandria

Boom. Knew it

Inez had that gleam in her eye that struck terror in my soul.
