The Antiquity Affair is about two sisters Tess and Lila. Their father is a famous archeologist and a terrible father. As they have grown up they have grown a part. Tess traveled for an education and to join her father on digs. Lila has stayed home in hopes of marrying well and restoring her family’s fortune. At Lila’s coming out party Tess is kidnapped. Leaving Lila and their father to travel from France to Egypt in hopes of saving Tess. You can guess what will happen next, but you’ll be wrong.

This book was so good! It’s a combination of Indiana Jones and Veronica Speedwell. Perfect for Deanna Raybourn fans.

Fun quick read. Great way to get me out of a reading rut. I’m a sucker for anything with an Indiana Jones vibe. The last 50 pages were a bit of a let down and the whole thing felt a little YA. It also didn’t deliver on feeling like true historical fiction set in 1907. However, I really enjoyed it!
