Erasing history
Mild spoilers
So tragic. Hard enough to be a goddess in a world that no longer has faith in you, but to have someone actively trying to erase you from existence? Sera aka Serket left home long ago when her powers wained and the world moved on now she lives a simple life as a veterinary nurse and heals animals. When a jackal shows up out of nowhere she nurses him back to health only to find he’s not a jackal but Sed a minor god who’s been looking for her. Now they’re on a journey to save a god, protect Sera and find the culprit of both egregious crimes.
Very good story. I enjoy the blend of Ancient Egyptian and the modern world. Interesting to see how gods might adapt to the world and how it’s moved on. A bit of something for everyone action, mystery, history, romance.
I received a free copy of this book. This review reflects my honest opinion freely given.
Protectors of poison
Protectors of Poison by Laura Greenwood is a romantic fantasy novel. I really enjoyed reading her novels. She has a fascinating ability to use history and mythology mixed with fantasy and well written characters. The plot is well developed and I love the world they reside in. Sera is happy just living her life until someone sets her up. Sera and Sed have to go on an adventure to prove her innocence before it’s too late. I love how Sera doesn’t give up and she is headstrong.
Laura Greenberg I really do enjoy your novels a lot. They are easy to read and interesting. I can’t wait to read book 2.
Poison and love
Love it! I was not aware there was a goddess of scorpions… so cool! Scorpions and healing don’t necessarily go together but this is cool. Serket is a healer working with animals and feeling like she’s fading. Sed comes out of nowhere and ends up her back to Egypt to help with a dire situation. They visit her temples and the drama begins.. a struggle ends with the culprit secured, and one of her temples damaged severely. Back in Egypt they help save Osiris and start a new life!
