Sisters of Isis: Divine One - #2 [Hardcover]

In the first book of the SISTERS OF ISIS series, Sisters of Isis: The Summoning (Sisters of Isis #1), we were introduced to Sudi, Dalila, and Meri, who had all discovered that they are descendants of the Egyptian Pharaohs and that each of them possess their own power. Sudi was trying to let the news sink in while also attempting to maintain the same life, getting a date with her crush, Scott, and trying to defeat the Cult of Anubis. Well, accomplishing one out of those three things isn't so bad.

Now it's time for Meri to tell her story. Meri's life was never that simple, what with having a mother who is a very respected politician and the press always following her every move. And discovering that she has special powers just makes things worse. At least she has Dalila and Sudi to keep her on her feet.

But Meri's life is just prone to problems. Turns out Sudi's crush, Scott, is beginning to be interested in Meri. Yet Meri isn't at all interested in Scott, since she can't get Abdel out of her mind. If only she didn't act like such a dork and mess things up whenever Abdel is around. Aside from that, Michelle, one of the popular girls at Meri's private school, has decided to make Meri her next target. And the newspapers are starting to catch Meri at her worst moments.

While trying to find solutions to these problems, it's up to Meri, Sudi, and Dalila to defeat Apep, their newest enemy. But is this just too much for Meri to handle?

As the second novel in the SISTERS OF ISIS series, Lynne Ewing takes readers deeper into this new world. Meri helps us understand that being well known has more disadvantages then advantages and having friends that can help and understands you will make it easy to resolve any problems. Fans of this series will be satisfied with DIVINE ONE and all that is has to offer.

This is the second book in the Sisters of Isis series. What I like about this series is that the setting is set in modern day Washington D.C. These girls all come from different families and different backgrounds, yet they must work together to save the world from an evil force who is trying to take over. I love the way the Lynne Ewing writes her books. She writes each book from a different characters point of view and still tells the story or continues the story throughout a number of books. I liked reading about this character and the way her world was turned upside down. This girl likes to be in the spotlight or she is in the spotlight with her mother being a senator but when things spin out of control as Meri tries to control her double-sided life. I love how the author does that for this character and does it flawlessly I think. I would recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book, and I am totally hooked on this series, and I'm thinking about reading some of the authors other books too! I didn't want to read the excerpt to book 3, because I so didn't want to be teased. I ordered book 3 and 4 and guess what? Book 3 was out of stock and I'm sitting with book 4 trying to talk myself out of peeping at it! Can't wait to see what happens!
