Where the Library Hides

A dramatic and emotional conclusion to the mysteries set up in the first book.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one, but it has a different vibe than the first. There's more action but less excavating. The plot is quick paced and the stakes are high. Multiple twists took me by surprise.

Inez and Whit's flaws are front and center in this one in a way that was a little frustrating to watch play out, but they never go so far as to be unlikeable (at least not for long). The romance takes a very different tone in this one, which isn't unexpected but did make me miss the yearning and the early stages of falling in love from the first book.

I particularly liked the epilogue.

Having finished the duology, I'd absolutely still recommend it for anyone who wants a historical fantasy romance with mystery and strong "touch her and die" themes.
