This was such a fun read. First of all, I have to say I was obsessed with the Mummy when I was younger. This book gave me all the Mummy vibes that I wanted. It's a mix of that with a murder mystery, so I was definitely hooked.

I really enjoyed Inez as our main character. She was striving for independence and was remarkably resilient during the book. As for Whit, absolutely loved him. Slightly brooding but always had the charm ready to go. I enjoyed reading about the other characters as well. The author did a great job at weaving the mystery of what happened to her parents. That mixed with the visions of Cleopatra from the past kept the plot moving quickly. 

I will say that around 90%, I thought everything was going to be wrapped up nicely, and that did not happen. There were so many twists and turns in the last portion of the book. I did not realize that this was going to be part of a series because there is definitely a cliffhanger at the end....and I need answers haha.  

Thank you to NetGalley and the published for an ARC in an exchange for an honest review.
