"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Reawakened by Colleen Houck
Book One of The Reawakened series
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Publication Date: August 25, 2015
Summary (from Goodreads):
When seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art one morning during spring break, the last thing she expects to find is a live Egyptian prince with godlike powers, who has been reawakened after a thousand years of mummification.
And she really can't imagine being chosen to aid him in an epic quest that will lead them across the globe to find his brothers and complete a grand ceremony that will save mankind.
But fate has taken hold of Lily, and she, along with her sun prince, Amon, must travel to the Valley of the Kings, raise his brothers, and stop an evil, shape-shifting god named Seth from taking over the world.
From New York Times bestselling author Colleen Houck comes an epic adventure about two star-crossed teens who must battle mythical forces and ancient curses on a journey with more twists and turns than the Nile itself.
I did NOT like Houck's Tiger Saga. But I love Egyptian mythology and I'm curious about this book!
oh I think I would love a chance to try this out sometime. I love any story with mythology...I just find it so fascinating. Hope you like it when you get your hands on it.
ReplyDeleteYes! Agreed! And it's funny - I just got an ARC in the mail today!
DeleteI'm not familiar with this author. I sure hope you enjoy this series better than the first.
ReplyDeleteHappy Midweek. And Happy Reading!
