This review is from: Sisters of Isis: Divine One - #2 (Hardcover)

In the first book of the SISTERS OF ISIS series, Sisters of Isis: The Summoning (Sisters of Isis #1), we were introduced to Sudi, Dalila, and Meri, who had all discovered that they are descendants of the Egyptian Pharaohs and that each of them possess their own power. Sudi was trying to let the news sink in while also attempting to maintain the same life, getting a date with her crush, Scott, and trying to defeat the Cult of Anubis. Well, accomplishing one out of those three things isn't so bad.

Now it's time for Meri to tell her story. Meri's life was never that simple, what with having a mother who is a very respected politician and the press always following her every move. And discovering that she has special powers just makes things worse. At least she has Dalila and Sudi to keep her on her feet.

But Meri's life is just prone to problems. Turns out Sudi's crush, Scott, is beginning to be interested in Meri. Yet Meri isn't at all interested in Scott, since she can't get Abdel out of her mind. If only she didn't act like such a dork and mess things up whenever Abdel is around. Aside from that, Michelle, one of the popular girls at Meri's private school, has decided to make Meri her next target. And the newspapers are starting to catch Meri at her worst moments.

While trying to find solutions to these problems, it's up to Meri, Sudi, and Dalila to defeat Apep, their newest enemy. But is this just too much for Meri to handle?

As the second novel in the SISTERS OF ISIS series, Lynne Ewing takes readers deeper into this new world. Meri helps us understand that being well known has more disadvantages then advantages and having friends that can help and understands you will make it easy to resolve any problems. Fans of this series will be satisfied with DIVINE ONE and all that is has to offer.

I really enjoyed this book, and I am totally hooked on this series, and I'm thinking about reading some of the authors other books too! I didn't want to read the excerpt to book 3, because I so didn't want to be teased. I ordered book 3 and 4 and guess what? Book 3 was out of stock and I'm sitting with book 4 trying to talk myself out of peeping at it! Can't wait to see what happens!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable continuation, January 1, 2009

This review is from: Sisters of Isis: Divine One - #2 (Hardcover)

Lynne Ewing has delivered another engrossing book in her Sisters of Isis series. In this volume, we are inside the mind of Meri: a shy, tomboyish girl with normal teenage worries -- except for the fact that she is the senator's daughter, forced to deal with things like the paparazzi, and -- oh yeah -- gifted with paranormal abilities to protect the world from falling prey to chaos. Apep, a demonic snake from Egyptian mythology, is on the loose, devouring innocents, bringing unnatural storms, and growing larger and much stronger the longer it's roaming in our world. Meri, Sudi, and Dalila try to find a way to stop it, but the task seems nearly impossible. The book's central plot is much tighter than the first, hinting at a few intriguing side plots as well. The drama is well balanced with several comedic moments, some of which take place at a snobbish girl's karaoke-themed party. (Enough said.) The only thing I wasn't sold on was the romantic relationship Meri develops. There were certain points where the chemistry fell flat, the connection forced. Other than that, this was a completely engrossing book, and I look forward to reading Dalila's perspective in Enchantress, the third volume in the Sisters of Isis series, as soon as it comes out.
