I like the storyline and the cover. This book would be very appealing to Young Adults.
The bracelet linking a family mystery to a goddess disrupting a high-school dance is an intriguing setup. How did you decide which details of Hathor’s mythology to adapt for Jordan’s story?
Thanks for posting by!
To answer some of the questions: I wonder if the story includes the thoughts of an Egyptian goddess about the culture of a modern high school? **Yes, it does. Let’s just say Hathor brings a new meaning to having fun in High school!
The bracelet linking a family mystery to a goddess disrupting a high-school dance is an intriguing setup. How did you decide which details of Hathor’s mythology to adapt for Jordan’s story? **My series is based on different Goddesses of love. In book one it’s Hathor. My protagonist is into everything romance and Audrey Hepburn. The bracelet has special meaning in more ways than one.
I love the cover art as well!
