Typing this while junking out on another movie. The Woman in Gold. How enjoyable! Combining my love for art and the history behind it.
Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron
Genre: Paranormal Young Adult
Series: Heartstrikers, book 1
As the smallest dragon in the Heartstriker clan, Julius survives by a simple code: keep quiet, don’t cause trouble, and stay out of the way of bigger dragons. But this meek behavior doesn't fly in a family of ambitious magical predators, and his mother, Bethesda the Heartstriker, has finally reached the end of her patience.
Now, sealed in human form and banished to the DFZ--a vertical metropolis built on the ruins of Old Detroit--Julius has one month to prove that he can be a ruthless dragon or kiss his true shape goodbye forever. But in a city of modern mages and vengeful spirits where dragons are considered monsters to be exterminated, he’s going to need some serious help to survive this test.
He only hopes humans are more trustworthy than dragons...
The cover for the second book is what brought this series to my attention. Now I’m very curious about this unique sounding series.
Plus, there be dragons.
Reawakened by Colleen Houck
Genre: Paranormal Young Adult
Series: The Reawakened, book 1
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.
Well a goodreads friend told me this is how The Mummy should have been. So I am all a twitter for this one! Egyptian mythology done right? Yes, please.
