But I hated the fact that I did not think of writing this book myself! I so love ancient history, especially Egypt and my current WIP focuses on an archaeologist and an Egyptian artifact.

City of the Dead by T.L. Higley transported me back in time to the building of the Great Pyramid. I loved everything about this book. The voice of the main character Hemi, Grand Vizier to Pharaoh Khufu. The rich history that doesn’t overtake the novel but is just enough to make you feel like you were there. The mystery, secret loves, and redemption that ties this entire novel together. Even the faith element was a pleasant surprise, which I thought was lacking in the first part of the book, but even with the hidden faith element, I still loved it and wanted to read more.

Did I mention I loved it and wish I would have written it? And I’m so glad TL Higley has other books to transport me back in time since City of the Dead is only book two in the Seven Wonders series and I’m so hoping there are seven wonders to read about!

To read the first chapter, go here. And if you want an exotic escape to an ancient land filled with mystery, then go and buy City of the Dead. You won’t be disappointed!
