Thank you to the author for the gifted eARC! ——— For someone re-indulging in their archaeological adventure era, this story came to me at the perfect time. Set in the historical late 1930s, we are thrown into a world of secret societies, deadly oaths, and magical ancient artifacts. Alliances are questioned, betrayals absolute, and banter gives way to undeniable, unavoidable chemistry between our main character and her brooding companion. This book was great. The worldbuilding, overarching plot, and characterizations of our main trio were all fantastic. The sensitivity with which some of the horrible aspects of the time period—aka the rise of the Third Reich—was expertly handled. I was hooked ‘til the very end. I think this is a great start to a very promising concept. I’m eager to see what happens next. For fans of Indiana Jones and The Mummy, I would highly recommend this book.
