Pertaining specifically to this latest entry, I admit my eyes glassed over quite a bit with complicated Egyptian names, terms, legend, and lore. I couldn’t keep anything very straight in my poor brain, except that some long dead evil sorceress is resurrected and is trying to find her equally evil dead husband’s source of power, and of course, Whyborne, Griffin and good ole Christine, must save the day by any means possible.

What I will always appreciate about this series is its consistency. You’re gonna get a paranormal mystery that puts our protagonists in quite a pickle that will test their mettle over and over again. It will also consistently bring the subtle and not so subtle humor around Whyborne’s fussiness and Griffin’s confident cheekiness, while still show the real vulnerabilities and fears these two men have. Through it all, each time, they as a team only grow stronger.

Overall, good storytelling (minus the complicated and convoluted Egyptian hullabaloo) with just the right amount of action, heart, and smexy.
