I love Egypt, I love mummies and definitely love strong female characters. So this book was everything I could have asked for.

This was such a nice story. I love Amelia she is a strong and independent character, with a powerfull view about female role in the society she lives. Evelyn and the Emerson brothers are also very lovable characters (each one of them with a very interesting background and side story). Even the villains are very interesting and well written (and that is very important in any story).

I really enjoyed this book and I want to know more about the future of these characters. I will have to read the next few books (there are, only, 19 more).
