The writing is passable as best, the storytelling generally weak, but it's an enjoyable read. This book is almost more erotica than romance novel, which will be a plus for some and a minus for others; I don't mind either way. The author clearly shares some common pet peeves about romance novels and chooses to defy them (mostly the constant miscommunication that tends to go on) a bit, but doesn't really know how to create conflict otherwise. This is a Mary Sue born and bred, but a decent one, and, if you're in the mood for this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you'll like.If I'm able to pick up others in the series for free, I will, and I *might* pay as much as .99 for the one about Takan, but probably not; there's too much competition at this level of barely passable writing. This book has an interesting background with all the Egyptian mythology, and that carried me along in reading even when I was annoyed with certain elements. Ra's Chosen are warriors who protect mortals from Set's undead, and Mehen, the leader of the chosen, is discovering a new twist to Ra's plans, one that includes a mate. Blythe is trying to make sense of everything the chosen are sharing with her, and no one can deny the connection she shares with Mehen even when neither of them wants it.The things that bothered me the most about this story are all about Blythe's background and a gift she receives. She seemed to always have what was needed to make conflicts just go away rather than having the story work through things in other ways.
What do You think about Soul Hunger (2000)?
It's basically BDB but with immortal Egyptian vampire warriors, but it was a fun read, and free.
