Book Description:
LOVE FOR BLOOD OR
HONOR
Kendra, an
Egyptologist and demi-god in waiting, is the key to unlocking Bakari, the
Egyptian God of Death, from his cursed slumber. Desperate to free him, she
inadvertently binds herself to the god with a spell that only death will undo.
To save Bakari from himself, she may have to sacrifice her innocence, and
possibly her soul, before he becomes his family’s worst enemy.
HAUNTED BY SINS OF
THE PAST
Bakari awakens to a
world at war and a beautiful woman who has tethered his soul to hers. In the
wake of his self-destruction Kendra is his only hope of salvation, but another
has vowed to keep Bakari from the one thing he craves most-- his Parvana. His
butterfly.
Here is my review:
Kendra Carrigan, an Archeologist, Egyptologist and demi-god
in her own right, ventures into Thebes, Egypt to deal with her father’s body
that had been brought back to the Underworld my her sister Lily when she had to
shove her sword into his chest when he was a zombie. Her husband, Asur wants
his son Bakari’s tomb opened so he can move on in the Underworld. With Bomani,
the Underworld Legion Commander by her side, Kendra jumps head first into the
events that unfold around her. Though Bomani lusts after Kendra, dare he say
anything especially after Bakari marks her? She ventures into the lair of
Bakari to open the tomb. He had been taken hostage by Kepi, fed her blood and
had his powers muted by using scorpions. She then placed a curse on him and put
him into his ‘tomb’ after torturing him for four years. Kendra realized there
is a curse that kept the sarcophagus shut for her normal methods of opening sarcophagus
did not work. She studied and studied to find that curse. After strange things
start happening to her, will she give of herself to save Bakari? Will she find
the key to the curse? Will she survive to see it? All will be told in the end.
Author, Jean Murray’s use of words depict vivid pictures for
the reader. As a reader, I use my own imagination but she writes in such a
manner that she creates it all for you. She wrote a spellbinding, twisting and
turning story that draws in the reader from the beginning and keep you guess
throughout. The main character is so likable and you find yourself rooting for
her throughout her journey despite her setbacks. This story also produces an
amazing amount of Egyptology mixed in the story and it adds to the realizism of
the story. This is a must read, along with her first book, Soul Reborn, Key to
the Cursed, Book 1.
