i had the best time with this book. I picked this up because it sounded so good and I have read an other book by this author. so my anticipation was hight but it was all met with his book and quickly became one of my favorites of this month. 

I really was absorbed with this book and the vibes

Margot discovers a journal in her school library. the journal is from archeologist Van Kaene in 1932 it contains writing about a quest to find the mythical Vase of Venus Aurelia. 

Margot enters the school trip to Pompeii. her goal discover the vase and the secret's with in them. 
she is shocked when her research take her to statue that looks exactly like Van but she can't give it a second thought because the statue comes to life.  Margot and Van join forces they embark on a thrilling quest to recover every fragment of the elusive vase. 


I adored this, I really like Margot as a main character she is very relatable and determined and in the search for her love intrest just like she has read about.  And than you have Van who is grumpy and does not want anything to do with Margot. the romance is so good between them and was perfectly paced.  but what the book did best was the vibes of the setting and it's plot. I loved that we had trials and mythology waved into it. it really is an adventure read and reminded me so much off Tomb Raider.  the ending has good twist that added something to the plot. and besides that the book is so funny at times I caught myself laughing out loud multiple times. if you love a thrilling adventure read that is also funny and relatable look no further.
