I went immediately from “YES” to “excUSE ME??? Inez fell for what????” WHAT WIT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

I fear I have to read the sequel 😪 maybe I’ll enjoy it more knowing the romance is already fleshed out?? So the subplot won’t distract from the interesting stuff? We shall see in November 🫡

Marriage of convenience !! Marriage of convenience !!! (Please??)

NO WAY THEY KILLED HER

like that’s crazy

But also she was clearly just reintroduced into the story to get killed off lmao

Oh to be trapped in a tomb with my love interest

“His hands were steady and sure, and I wanted them to explore my body” lmaooooooo be fr you just betrayed your uncle and everyone at the dig site

It’s a good plot twist. I was able to see it coming only right before it was revealed, and the red herring was pretty solid. This book could’ve been so much better had the romance just been taken a little slower

I knew it!! Also, the amount of times this girl has said “the strong line of his thigh/leg pressed against me” or whatever like bro can you come up with something else ?? 😭

“There’s no tomorrow for us. We don’t even have today.” — a cool line

Yeahhhh I don’t trust her mom now too 😭 I’m not trusting anyone but the MC rn

Honestly the tomb stuff and ancient Egyptian history is super interesting, this book just gets ruined with the romantic subplot. Again, it’s not the worst romantic subplot ever, I’m just tired of the cliches and quick development
