November 13, 2009: Hot off the press, onto my nightstand for a very long time. Great chick flip (not flick, flip--as in pages of a book.) If you've picked up the book in the store, read the front cover and inside page, or read an excerpt on line, and are still thinking about buying the book, then do it! I was hooked within the first few pages. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN and devoured it last weekend. A week later, I still wake up at night with the story on my mind. Enough plot to keep you reading between the steamy, back arching scenes, which Marsh has very successfully and sufficiently detailed. Usually I lend the books I've finished to my friends, but not this one. This one is mine. I have purchased several copies for my friends though, so they can have their own copies too. Great honeymoon, bridal shower, or bachelorette party gift! Or better yet, guys, give this to your girl!

September 22, 2009: At the Temple of Amun-Ra, Miu hesitantly enters the tunnels. Her quest is to save her sister and to complete a loyalty pledge she made to her employer the thief master Lierr. She must steal a powerful moonstone necklace from the crypt and escape the legendary Guardian warriors who are said to be shapeshifters; although she believes they are mortal warriors only everything she heard is no female ever escaped THE HUNT.
Jafar the Guardian notices Miu and concludes she will prove to be a pest as she refuses to undergo the standard virginity test. Amun-Ra orders Jafar to follow Miu to learn why she is here confident and disobedient unlike the other frightened females. Jafar does not know how much trouble she causes as he catches her stealing a necklace and begins to believe she is his mate, but she deserves a stiff penalty as he was betrayed once before by a female.The moment Miu breaks the laws by entering the tunnels this exciting romantic fantasy gets its claws into the audience who go in with her and never let's go until the final confrontation with Amun-Ra. The key to the Marsh mythos is realm of THE HUNT seems genuine as the author provides enough lore interwoven nicely into the (too many) subplots for readers to believe in its existence. With a nod to Egyptian mythology and a strong support cast, fans will cheer on the lead pair through action to the nth degree while each has doubts about a relationship between them. Harriet Klausner
