What the River Knows (Secrets of the Nile #1)

by Isabel Ibañez

Only you, and myself, will have access to the money, Inez.

oh he’s evil

“Have you thought about kissing me?”

Ok insta love

A small part of me had been fighting against the attraction I had felt for him since our day in the market.

Sigh

My uncle killed my parents.

yeah girl i got that 200 pages ago

I debated ignoring it, decided it would be childish, and accepted his help.

I cant figure out how she feels abt him

“At night, you’ll give them to me for safekeeping.”

This is shady

The only way to make things right was to stop my mother somehow.

This "twist" was a bit too obvious bc Inez is so fucking gullible. The foreshadowing felt like being hit with a brick

“Paint me as a thief. A murderer.”

Well you were acting fucking sus

I was sickened that I hadn’t told him the truth about how I felt when I had the chance.

Didnt she tell him

“You can’t marry him.” He lifted his hand and rubbed his eyes. They were bloodshot, tired, and red-rimmed. But when he focused on me again, his blue gaze seared. “Why not?” “Because,” he said in a husky whisper, “he won’t kiss you the way I will.”

see lines like this make me want to ignore 300 pages of inconsistent romance and forced dislike
