Critics Review

PRAISE FOR ISABEL IBAÑEZTake a plucky heroine, a historically grounded Indiana Jones-esque adventure through Ancient Egypt, and add a surprising dollop of magic - it’s a recipe for a delightful read * Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author *Fast-paced yet lyrical, with twists that keep you flying through the pages while Ibañez’s evocative prose makes you want to savor every sun-drenched paragraph, What the River Knows is a truly enchanting work of storytelling. All the stars * Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries *Expertly plotted, explosively adventurous, and burning with romance * Stephanie Garber #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon A Broken Heart *Luminous and enchanting, What the River Knows gleams with dangerous secrets, a clever heroine, ancient tombs, and a mystery that readers will be eager to unravel. A romantic, spellbinding adventure * Rebecca Ross, internationally bestselling author of Divine Rivals *The well-paced plot encompasses many fresh, new adventures and betrayals in this reimagined historical setting in which ancient magic abounds and not everyone or everything is what it seems. Even more captivating, however, is the complicated, nuanced love story between Whit and Inez. Their chemistry sizzles, but their relationship is achingly layered with both profound loyalty and deep deception. As their journey unearths new enemies and priceless archaeological finds, the duo must try to trust each other enough to survive. A thrilling, beautifully written page-turner. * Kirkus Reviews *More danger and intrigue lurk at every turn in this exciting duology closer… A thrilling, beautifully written page-turner. * Kirkus Reviews *Magic is in the air! * Goodreads *I found this a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to a most enjoyable tale. I recommend these two books as a rewarding read at the intersection of fantasy, romance, and historical fiction * ParSec *
