Book Review: Reawakened

Book Reviews, Buried in the Slushpile

ReawakenedBy Colleen Houck

After stumbling upon a half-naked, very hot (no pun intended) Sun God at the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lily gets sucked into his battle against the Egyptian god Seth. Moving between the world of elite New York and the ruins of Ancient Egypt, the story pits the ancient Egyptian gods in their never ending battle for supremacy.

Honestly, I’m not sure how I came across this book. It’s something that I only have as ebook, so I must have stumbled on it through an online recommendation. I am glad I found it though. The action is well-paced and the romance is compelling without being overdone. For authors looking to add romance to their fantasies, this book does a good job of incorporating the two without letting one element overpower the other.
