A wonderful adventure
This was a quick, easy, adventurous, and incredibly enjoyable read.
Alongside the characters, I learned so much about Egypt, and I loved how naturally all the historical details and information were woven into the story.
The main characters were absolutely lovely. From the very first pages, I found myself thinking, these two are definitely going to end up together.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure novels with a touch of romance.

This can be done with "The Secret Adventure" by Marina Kozareva!
The young author takes us into the world of the ancient Egyptians in a fascinating way. Historical facts and fantasy mix to create a real and fantastic story.
A journey back in time takes the main characters to Men-nefer, the capital of Ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom period. The ancient city is described in a remarkable way. The city walls and its paradise gardens come to life before us. We walk through the streets with the main characters, meet local people and find ourselves in the royal palace. And here secrets await us that need to be revealed.
Will the two British students, who found themselves here in a magical way, be able to cope with the situation? 🤔
Boyana and Edvin are funny young people who immediately won me over with their ease and intelligence.
I was also impressed by one of the secondary characters, Amunet. Behind his strict appearance and position, something else is hidden. 🫣
The work of collecting historical facts is undeniable.
The book is easy and quick to read, suitable for people who prefer romantic and adventure stories.

The Secret Adventure was a truly intriguing read that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely fell in love with the main characters, Boyana and Edvin. Their personalities were so vivid and well-crafted that they felt real and easy to connect with.
The time travel element was another highlight for me. It was executed really well and blended seamlessly into the story. It’s clear the author did extensive research on ancient Egypt, and it truly shows. The way those scenes were written was incredible. I felt completely immersed, as if I were walking through ancient Memphis myself, with its bustling streets and grand palaces coming to life right in front of my eyes.
I also really enjoyed some of the side characters from the modern-day timeline. Boyana’s and Edvin’s friends added fun, charm, and extra layers to the story, making the world feel even more complete.
The book gave me strong The Mummy and Indiana Jones vibes, which made the adventure even more exciting. I’d definitely recommend it to fans of those films, as well as to anyone who loves engaging adventures, compelling characters, and, of course, the fascinating world of ancient Egypt.

If you like ancient Egypt vibes, a slow-burn rivals to lovers romance, and Indiana Jones-esque adventure, this book is for you. I had a really good time reading this. The relationship between Boyana and Edvin was believable and their interactions definitely pulled me along, wanting me to read the next chapter. But of greater interest to me was the quest they were on, driven by their academic pursuits (I won't say more to avoid spoilers). I always prefer books with a deeper plot and challenge beyond a romantic entanglement. This book has that in spades.
Kozareva's writing is sharp and solidly written for a debut novel. Her knowledge of ancient Egypt also shines and escalates the overall quality of the book.
Great job!

The Secret Adventure was a really enjoyable read! I loved the overall concept. It felt fresh and engaging right from the start. The characters were well-developed and felt real, which made it easy to get invested in their journey. Speaking of the journey, that was one of my favorite parts, especially the sections set in ancient Egypt. They were vivid, exciting, and added a unique layer to the story. What stood out the most to me, though, was the author’s writing style. It’s easily my favorite aspect of the book. It was smooth, immersive, and full of personality. It really pulled me in and kept me hooked throughout.

5/5
They say the pyramids weren't built overnight - and neither was this book. Writing this story took me more time, patience and nerves than I expected, but every sacrifice was worth it. The journey back in time to Ancient Egypt exhausted me, I lost a few of those nine "cat" lives along the way, but I'm proud of what was born in the end. This story is my Egypt - majestic, mysterious and eternal.

This story is a wonderful debut, a tale filled with Egyptian lore and history, romance, and adventure. It’s an entertaining read, and the author’s love for the culture she based this story on comes through in her writing. Nicely done, I look forward to reading more from Marina.
