Faded Fragments: The Nexus Series - Book 1 by Mandi Kontos
adventurous
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
With a Werewolf, Witch and Watcher twist, this book is full of intrigue and unexpected turns, all set under a hot Egyptian sun.
The Mummy vibes are strong (the 1999 version... the best if you ask me 😆) but if you enjoyed the concept of a love that spans thousands of years, and the atrocities committed in the name of that love and the tragedy that follows, you'll enjoy this story.
Mandi weaves old and new timelines seamlessly, giving the reader a glimpse into the minds of Lucy and her descendant Nefertiti, their wants, needs, and how hard they both work to get what they desire.
The introduction of the three protagonists as bonded gives the story an interesting vibe, with each bringing their quirks (and sometimes questionable decisions) to the forefront, driving the narrative along to its ultimate conclusion.
If you enjoy:
- found family
- forbidden magic
- ancient Egyptian deities
- bonded friends
- battle, fights, and violence
- ruthless enemies
- betrayal
- changing POV
Then you'll want to jump into this one!!!
