Reactions and Reviews
Generally speaking, fans have a bent for writing characters’ past lives, or simply for setting them in another time and place. For readers, it’s an amusing diversion from the standard "let’s-get-'em-into-bed" devices commonly employed. It can also make for a great exercise in spotting subtle – and not so subtle – character traits. Because of Jim's heightened senses and Blair's shamanism, though, AUs get a fresh spin by fans, and it often makes for a very worthwhile read. This is a favorite… What starts as a visit to a special exhibition at the Cascade Museum of Natural History, leads to the murder of one of Blair's old academic mentors. In solving this case, will Jim and Blair unravel the mystery behind a double homicide in Ancient Egypt, as well? This thoroughly enjoyable story has everything: murder mysteries, archeology, anthropology, sinister villains, past lives, a post TSbyBS Jim and Blair who work and play well together, zippy banter, delicious sex, and Hapshepsut. Alyjude ties it all together, and sets mood and location masterfully here, making each time period and its characters, wholly believable. The action is riveting, and even though you know there’s going to be a “happy ending” (because it’s an Alyjude tale), you still thrill to every twist, peril, and turn.[1]
