It’s a blah day for deals IMO. Only two books wow me. I’ve been waiting for this one to go on sale for a while. I’ve heard it’s fabulous–Amazon readers give it 4.3 stars. Here’s the blurb:

Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that’s been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most: her globetrotting parents—who frequently leave her behind.

When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archeologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and a golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she soon discovers there’s more to her parent’s disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe.

With her guardian’s infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent’s disappearance—or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.

It’s on sale for 2.99 here.

Maggie loves this book. In her rave review she wrote:

I began this book, as I do any book, optimistically expecting a good read. What I got was a great one – a story that completely blew me away; that had me laughing and crying and smiling. It’s an unusual tale showing us that even the simplest of lives can hold amazing secrets and it is a book you won’t want to put down….

This book engaged me from the beginning and kept me engrossed throughout. I would recommend it –strongly- to anyone who likes women’s fiction or who enjoys mysteries that involve the past.
