Book of Interest: The Blazing Star

Earlier this week, I stated that I'm trying to read more fantasy books because aside from comics I don't read as many books from this genre as I would like to. Here is another interesting one that I just added to my wishlist. Oh by the way, love the cover it's beautiful and really stands out.

This book seems so interesting with the characters inadvertently traveling back to ancient Egypt and trying to find their way back. Of course there are monster there, hmm this should make for a good.

Book: The Blazing Star by Imani Josey

Description:

Sixteen-year-old Portia White is used to being overlooked after all, her twin sister Alex is a literal genius.

But when Portia holds an Egyptian scarab beetle during history class, she takes center stage in a way she never expected: she faints. Upon waking, she is stronger, faster, and braver than before. And when she accidentally touches the scarab again?

She wakes up in ancient Egypt her sister and an unwitting freshman in tow.

Great.

Mysterious and beautiful, Egypt is more than they could have ever imagined from their days in the classroom. History comes alive as the three teens realize that getting back to the present will be the most difficult thing they've ever done. Stalked by vicious monsters called Scorpions, every step in the right direction means a step closer to danger.

As Portia and the girls discover that they're linked to the past by more than just chance, they have to decide what it truly means to be yourself, to love your sister, and to find your way home.
