My Review
5/5 Stars
Sci-Fi meets Mythology meets a Suspenseful Mystery in this amazing tale.
After an excavation in Egypt, Alyssa’s father and his entire crew is struck with an unknown pathogen. Desperate to save him, she goes on a quest to figure out exactly what the source of the plague is before it can spread to the entire world.
The characters are very complex and well-fleshed out. Alyssa was my favorite character. She was a strong heroine, smart and reckless and wasn’t afraid to do what she needed to protect and save her father. Her dreams and ambitions made her easy to relate to and cheer for.
Fastpaced and action-packed, Heir of Ra is one of those stories that sinks its hooks in you and won’t let go until the end. The suspense of not knowing who is good or bad makes it all the more compelling. There’s plenty here for all readers to enjoy whether it be the Egyptian mythology, the technological spin about DNA, or the raw adventure. Even the mystery of it all is very well done. Every chapter of this book is enrapturing, and all I can say is I’m glad there are plenty more books in this series.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
