I have thoughts and none of them are particularly good!

This was meant to be an Egyptian adventure akin to The Mummy about a girl whose parents go missing in Egypt and she travels to find out what happened to them with the help of a magical ring. 

Now, the main reason this book didnt work is because of the FMC, Inez Olivera.
She's immature, rash, naive, stubborn and none of it was redeemable at any point or by the end. She jumps into situations head first without any thought for her safety or others and someone actually dies because of her stupidity! She is enabled by people around her and was just a waste of time every time she made ridiculous choices.

The MMC/love interest Whit, was a complete bore with absolutely no sex appeal whatsoever.
He resembled Rick from Rick and Morty rather than Rick from The Mummy! His whole description was giving drunken hobo rather than unkept rogue and i was just not here for it. His backstory was boring, his personality even more so and the romance was simply non existent. The romance was incredibly forced and at no point was i anticipating them getting together.

There were some suitable red herrings at the start and while there was some interest once the 'real' villain was revealed, it was all a little unsatisfying. The magic system was also a big let down. It was set up that the essence of magic can linger in objects so if you touch it, you can see someone's life/memories. Can everyone do this or just Inez? If they can, whys everyone not walking around going back into the past whenever they feel like it? Everything about it was largely unclear. 

Once we actually got to Egypt the adventure was short lived because everything was discovered so quickly that there was no real excitement about it and everything fell flat.

Overall, this failed because of the main character who was ridiculously annoying as well as having quite juvenile and repetitive writing that i personally didnt mesh with. It had all the potential of an amazing adventure story but simply didnt deliver.
