The Medallion of Solaus [Paperback]

Kimberly Adkins (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A Darkly Enchanted Artifact.
A Passion to Outlast the Centuries.

Solaus had but one wish of the medallion: to save his dying bride. But when he placed the pendant around his neck, his wish was changed by a malevolent twist of magic that made him Djinn, but also took away the knowledge of what he is and who he used to be. Flung from Ancient Persia into immortality, Solaus has only the memory that he did not save his true love—and nothing more as time begins to pass.

Eager for a fresh start, New York City photographer, Kaitlin Sommers accepts a rare assignment on a deserted island fortress off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. Surrounded by the shadowy underworld of illegal treasure smuggling, Kaitlin finds herself in the arms of man who seems to spring directly from dreams of her past—a man Fate threatens to tear her away from a second time. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars great plot, November 28, 2008

By	A. Vidhayasirinun (CA, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Medallion of Solaus (Paperback)

This book was built on a great plot, especially when it was written in less than 170 pages. It definitely grabbed my attention. It got 5 stars

However, I was not so comfortable with the author's writing style and was disappointed with Kaitlin. For somebody who supposedly was worldly and was an experienced photographer, either suddenly she became really stupid or very naive to do all what she had done throughout the story. This was more of the character of a pretty young heroine in a Gothic story, not one who had gone safely in and out of different hot spots. The rest of all characters were likable or so-so but not significant enough. This part got 3 stars.

Thus overall, I felt that this book should be a 4 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite an adventure!, August 28, 2007

By	Dagny Ellis (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Medallion of Solaus (Paperback)

The Medallion of Solaus feels like an Indiana Jones movie! Seriously! What I found in reading it was an adventure-packed gothic romance that really played on persian lore and magic. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because the heroine Kaitlin really swooned a little too much for my taste. The rest of the book more than makes up for it. Adkins is very talented at making the reader feel the sand, rock, sea, passion and treasure surrounding this tale. I recommend trying it!

5.0 out of 5 stars You will find yourself immersed in the story., January 31, 2008

By	Eva S. Starkey "MAMAGOTH" (Parkersburg, WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Medallion of Solaus (Paperback)

An exotic tale of a modern woman's life colliding with ancient Persia, when an amulet begins to make the veil between ancient and present thin. A dark mysterious man haunts her visions. She is sent across the globe on assignment to photograph artifacts for a private collector. The romance is smoldering with passion. filled with action and danger, I think it would make a great film also.
