Where the Library Hides: A Novel (Secrets of the Nile, 2)

Where the Library Hides is Isabel Ibañez's stunning conclusion to the story that started in What the River Knows. A lush immersive historical fantasy set in Egypt filled with adventure, and a rivals-to-lovers romance like no other!

Inez Olivera traveled across the world to Egypt, seeking answers into her parents' recent and mysterious deaths. But all her searching led her down a perilous road, filled with heartache, betrayal, and a dangerous magic that pulled her deep into the past.

When Tío Ricardo issues an ultimatum about her inheritance, she’s left with only one option to consider.

Marriage to Whitford Hayes.

Former British soldier, her uncle’s aide de camp, and one time nemesis, Whit has his own mysterious reasons for staying in Egypt. With her heart on the line, Inez might have to bind her fate to the one person whose secret plans could ruin her.

Ugh, this one just didn’t live up to the first book. Inez often came across as a petulant, impulsive young girl rather than a compelling lead. And the cats in the epilogue — who had absolutely nothing to do with the story — made the ending feel silly and out of place. Book #103 in 2025 ⭐️⭐️
