I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have to say I love anything that has Egypt and its myth and lore at the base of the book. This book starts where the last book left off. Nisha is going to go through the Trial to get across the Underworld to get her cousin back. While she is trying to do this Blaze and the rest of the gang are trying to find away to the Underwood with the help of the Book of the Dead to get Nisha and her cousin back. I like Blaze and Nisha. They are developing something more between them and that is exciting. It is worth the read and the adventure.

I have always been fascinated with Egypt and her mythology so this book struck my interest. It is fairly a good read and will have you on the rip of your seat waiting for the next chapter. A good story to get lost in...

The book of the dead was a quick interesting read.
I love the cover and how it draws the reader to the book. The authors writing style is fascinating and easy to read.

This book was received as an ARC from Backlit PR in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book was really interesting to read and I am in love with stories of children living their lives and then later on discovering that they are an Egyptian god undercover and the only way to save their friend is to take a trip to the underworld and save her especially if it is the girl of your dreams. There were a lot of references to Greek Mythology and Egyptology so I know the author did their research and incorporated them very well into each event and character. Every page I had my interest invested and since this is the second book in the series I am definitely interested in reading the first book in the series as well.

We will consider adding this book to our YFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Imagine finding out one day you were actually a real Egyptian god cool right? Until you have to enter the underworld ... I loved the author humor and snark that is generously sprinkled through out this story and thought the premise was fun and creative.

I didn't realise this was the second book in a series when I started reading it, but I don't think it seems to matter as the backstory of the first one was dripped in throughout.

There were some things that just niggled at me as I read. One of those things is that Blaze's mum says 'innit'. It just seemed really strange to me that an adult with a grown child, who is on the doorstep in a cooking apron would say a word like that. It's the sort of word you'd associate with a teenage/young chav. The second thing is that I couldn't get over the names of two of the characters - Shaggy and Scooby - no matter how much personality they were given, I was still picturing them in my head as Scooby Doo characters, especially with the smoking weed habit one of them seemed to have.

Despite all of this, I really enjoyed the parts of the story that were shown in the Trials. These parts were more realistic than the real world parts and the characters very developed.

Action-packed ~ Amusing ~ Engrossing
tl; dr: A girl turns out to be an ancient Egyptian god and finds herself on an adventure in the underworld.

This story is one of those books that reminds of the never-ending imagination of authors. I loved ancient Egypt as a kid, and I taught Egyptian art as an adult. Never in my mind did I think about setting a fast-paced adventure tale in that world. This story does a great job of dropping you into the Egyptian underworld, though with a healthy dose of snark. The ending is a cliffhanger. I hadn't read the previous book, and while I will go back and catch it, I did feel like I got enough from this book to keep up with the story.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for an honest review.

I enjoyed this the author clearly had done plenty of research into mythology and Egyptology so you felt at home in the world she created. The characters were well written and relatable, the story was well paced and interesting. A really good sequel
