School Library Journal Review

Gr 9 Up--After the heart-stopping end of What the River Knows, Inez's uncle has put an end to her search for answers and is determined to ship her back to safety in Argentina. As an unmarried woman in 1885 Egypt, her only recourse against her guardian is the enigmatic Whitford Hayes and his seemingly impulsive marriage proposal to secure her inheritance and independence. No matter how much Inez wants to say yes, she struggles to trust herself with a decision this serious after the events of the previous book. Whit has secrets of his own that make it difficult for Inez to trust him, no matter how close they've grown in their rivals-to-lovers romance. Inez's determination to get justice for what's happened to her family pulls readers along into further danger and betrayals as Ibañez's clever, sensual writing paints a vivid picture of a world where old magic can be found in unexpected places. Clearly articulated characters create a diverse and engaging cast full of layers and personal motives, while emotional resonance propels the story and their arcs forward. Whit and Inez's searing romance is tied tightly to the adventure, as they must rely on the trust they've built while knowing the betrayals yet to come. Ibañez's historical duology is perfect for readers seeking magnetic romance and gripping adventure. VERDICT A singular historical romance destined for all YA collections. These characters will have a hold on readers long after the last page.--Emmy Neal
