review

Valley of the Kings: The 18th Dynasty by Terrance Coffey is a great historical fiction. This book is fast paced and full of excitement. I had a hard time putting it down.

The author has done a great job of taking historical facts and turning them into an epic historical novel full of adventure and he captured the intrigue of the Egyptian court. The author's storytelling style made the book come alive and I could smell the smells and see the sights clearly in my mind.

I really liked how Terrance Coffey made the characters of the book come alive. They did not seem like the figures of history books, but they seemed real and believable. It was fun getting into the storyline and following along with the characters.

I really liked Valley of the Kings: The 18th Dynasty by Terrance Coffey and I high recommend this book to all readers.

review

Our Lady of the Absolute by Resa Nelson is a different type of book to read. It tries to combine ancient Egyptian and modern society in a "today" setting.

The book was well written but I found it hard to follow and identify with. I just could not get into the story. This book just didn't do it for me.

I give it four stars based on writing style, but I did not like the storyline.

After the Cataclysm, book 3 of Legends of the Winged Scarab, by Inge H. Borg is an action packed thriller which kept me hooked. The fast pace adventures kept the tale of the Legends of the Winged Scarab going and growing.

I really enjoyed the storyline of the book and how it brought the first two books together to an exciting climax. It is well written and easy to follow even with its twist and turns. The author's storytelling style captures your imagination and pulls you into the adventure.

Inge H. Borg has developed a cast of characters that are both believable and easy to follow. They are strong yet have the vulnerability of normal people. I really enjoyed getting to know them

I really liked After the Cataclysm by Inge H. Borg and I highly recommend this book and the entire series.

Do you like reading historical fiction, especially about ancient Egypt? If yes, then The Sekhmet Bed by Libbie Hawker is the story for you. It is full of intrigue and mystery of the pharaoh's court.

I really liked the way the author put together a story that grabs hold of you and won't let go. The plot twists are fast and steady which makes for an exciting read. Even with the twist the story is easy to follow and read.

It is obvious Libbie Hawker has done her research. The attention to detail and historical evidence is very apparent in her storytelling style. I've read a lot of Egyptian novels and this is one of the best.

Libbie Hawker has put together a cast of characters that are both realistic and very believable. You can watch their personalities and maturity grow as the story progresses. This is another reason the book is such a good read.

I really liked The Sekhmet Bed by Libbie Hawker and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

Are you ready to add some adventure, intrigue and action to your reading life? Then it is time to read Sirocco; Storm over Land and Sea by Inge H. Borg, book two of the Legends of the Winged Scarab. This book is definitely a page turner and will have you glued to it from start to finish.

I really like the way the author made a smooth transition from the first book, Khamsin, to this book, even though there were thousands of years between the stories. I do recommend you read the first book first so the background storyline is set.

The author did a great job of developing a tale of adventure that is full of action and plot twist. Her storytelling style makes the book easy to follow even with all the twist and turns. It will not let you put it down or get the story out of your mind.

I liked the way Inge H. Borg developed her characters as the book progress. You could see them mature and grow stronger as the story move forward. They were easy to identify with and they were very believable.

I found Sirocco by Inge H. Borg to be a very good book to read and I highly recommend it to all readers.

I have always been fascinated by ancient Egyptian history and love reading historical novels that relate to this. Khamsin: The Devil Wind of the Nile by Inge H. Borg is a great example of this type of fiction in its best form.

The author did a great job of developing a storyline that will keep you glued to its pages and will not let you go. With the author's style of writing you can easily put yourself in the desert and on the banks of the Nile, feeling the dry hot sun beating down or the wet cool breeze off the river. I found myself caught up in the story and living it along with the characters.

I liked the way Inge H. Borg developed her characters. They were real and came to life as the story progressed. It was easy to identify with each character and understand their role in the tale.

I really liked Khamsin: The Devil Wind of the Nile by Inge H. Borg and I highly recommend this book to all readers.
