Okay I got another YA book, but at least it wasn't written in present
tense. This one is written from a teen-aged girl's perspective. She is
also beautiful and one of the richest girls on the planet. So yes,
putting myself in her shoes felt a bit awkward, but Lily is a likable
gal and her life of extreme luxury has not made her as pampered and
annoying as it could have.
As the book begins, Lily's chief
concern is her desire to follow her own path in life instead of the one
being dictated by her overbearing parents. This quickly changes when she
is on hand for the reawakening of an ancient mummy named Amon who is
brought to life to save the Earth from the evil god of Chaos Seth.
Amon
is young and handsome and you guessed it, she falls for him hard,
although it does take a little while to get over his strange manner and
magical feats. Soon, however, the 'honeymoon' is over as Lily becomes
involved with life and death struggles that mix danger, travel,
monsters, and magic.
