What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez

5.0

Holy cow! This ending left me speechless! Just... I honestly don't know exactly what is happening, but I'm so excited to find out in the sequel.   This was so good.  So good.  I love this book from beginning to middle to end.  Absolutely great storytelling that kept my attention the whole time.

Plus, Egypt! Egypt going through major changes.  The British are colonizing and taking over government jobs.  Egyptians themselves now have very little power in their own country.  It's become a popular tourist destination and for explorers ready to make big money on the priceless "treasures" to be found in hidden tombs.  

All of this is being well described as the heroine takes a ship to Alexandria from Buenos Aires to find out the truh behind her parents' death.  However, she finds out so much more than she expects but deals with everything with strength and endurance.   I have to mention Whit, ruggedly handsome, British,  sarcastic, and yet there's more to him than you may think!

Amazing read!
