This was a great and creepy read. I didn't know I would enjoy this genre mix so much. It's a dark and twisty adventure-horror novel with a pinch of drama set in Egypt. The author definitely did his research about the Egyptian Pantheon, death rituals and mythology.
Although set in a time where women didn't really have much to say, we follow a strong female lead, who knew her worth and didn't cower in front of the men working in her field, which I appreciated.
I won't spoil too much of the story, but I had a great time reading Tomb of Gods and I can recommend it for anyone who loved the Mummy movie trilogy or the Mummy movie with Tom Cruise (2017). You will love this! I'm usually good with predicting plot lines and endings, but I didn't see this coming. 

I'm looking forward to reading more from the author.
