**A huge thanks to Wednesday books and St. Martins publishing for an advanced copy of this book! Sorry it took a bit to get the review up, all thoughts and opinions are my own**
Ashwin Sood is a little too posh for her tastes, a member of an ancient cult (which she’s pretty sure counts for more than one strike against him), and has just informed Memphis that her father who she thought was dead isn’t and needs her help.
From the catacombs of Paris to lost temples in the sacred forests, together they crisscross the globe, searching for the pieces of the one thing that might save her father. But the closer they come to saving him—and the more they fall for one another—the closer they get to destroying the world.
My Review: This book was okay. I must admit the premise was intriguing and I mean look at that cover...

However it just overall fell flat and didn’t really keep my attention. Lots of action packed elements and I thought the archeologist stuff was cool and really not done in YA enough but again I was BORED!
Memphis was a very strong willed character who was wicked smart and knew a ton about different Egyptian hieroglyphics which again had me intrigued! However the writing and the storyline combined just did not keep my attention!!
I had such high expectations here and somehow the book just ended up so MEH. The characters lacked depth but really the plot line just was not engaging for me. Way too analytical and not enough fun or plot twists.
Sadly was let down by this book but wound up giving it three stars just because it was so original and had some cool mummy I dig up old fossils vibes that I would normally be so about! Three stars for originality but unfortunately did not impress.
What about you guys? Read this book? Want to? Let me know in the comments below!
