BBB: Books, Bevs, and Babes

Dec 8 2023 • 31 mins

Greetings, BBB book lovers! Join us in another riveting episode of BBB Books, Bevs, Babes, as Shaya and Jenika embark on a journey through the enchanting world of "What the River Knows" by Isabel Ibañez.

Shaya immerses herself in the rich flavors of a Moroccan mint tea, mimicking the essence of the novel's North African setting. Jenika, drawing from her own adventures, opts for an apple tea reminiscent of her time in Cairo. Together, they savor the warmth of these beverages as they delve into the magical tapestry of Inez Olivera's world.


In this lush, immersive historical fantasy, Inez, a Bolivian-Argentinian heiress, finds herself at the center of a web of old world magic, family secrets, and a dangerous race against time. Inheriting her parents' fortune and a mysterious guardian, Inez sets sail for Cairo, only to discover that her parents' deaths are shrouded in more mystery than her guardian revealed.

As Inez navigates the ancient magic tied to a golden ring and contends with her infuriatingly handsome assistant, Shaya and Jenika discuss the intricacies of a plot expertly woven with adventure, romance, and historical intrigue.
