Description
SISTER. RIVAL. PROTECTOR.
Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie's dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past.
Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background. Although her parents may overlook her talents, her ability to read hieroglyphs makes her invaluable at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society.
But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever.
Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, has taken on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story that she can undo the mistakes of the past.

Story: 3 stars Cover: +0,5 cause the cover is pretty Over all: This was one of my most anticipated books this year. Unfortunately I couldn’t get into the story at all. The story lacked plot, worldbuilding and character depth. Chapters: The chapters were very short and while I usually like this, in this case it felt too short. I couldnt get into the story because I was constantly pulled out of it and set in another timeline. I think it was definitely not necessary to switch so often. At the end when the story got at least a little more exciting, I was even getting annoyed when the times changed again and something completely irrelevant to the story was told. Romance: I think the author intended the romance to be sort of enemies-to-lovers but she made the love interest so unlikeable, that by the time she introduced the „true villain“, I couldnt change my mind about the love interest anymore.
