I've read the first two books in this series, and while I haven't read the third, this being a different genre, I was hoping I could just dive into this one. I'm an M/M fan, so I was glad to see Laura Kaye crossover into this wonderful genre, but I just wasn't really connecting with this one at all, just felt rushed, like there could've been more to their story.  My advice, do not go into this one thinking it's a stand alone. When I have time, I'll have to go back and read the third book, and see if it changes my thoughts on this one.

There are many series that you can read out of order or skip books and not miss out on any information. This is not one of them. I strongly encourage you to begin the series at the beginning: #1 is The Maze of Bones, #2 is One False Note, and #3 is The Sword Thief. Each author gives a synopsis of previous plot lines that are pertinent to the ongoing story line so you can get the gist of what is happening, but you miss out on a lot of the mystery and more subtle story lines so I don't recommend it. Also, you will want to purchase the books yourself so that you can play the online games and collect all of the clue cards (which is half the fun!). You can only use the code on the cards once so siblings cannot share, but you can play the games and the missions multiple times online so everyone can get a turn.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written by veteran children's author, Jude Watson, who gave great descriptions of Egypt and managed to balance historical information with action to keep the reader interested. I think that Amy & Dan Cahill are finally hitting their stride in this book and are really starting to gel as a team. They still have weaknesses and drive each other crazy sometimes, but they have settled in and are in it to win it. They are not letting anything hold them back and they are determined to press forward. They are changing, but not always for the better. Amy & Dan are much more suspicious (with good reason) and are starting to play the game. They leave false trails and misleading clues for other Cahill members to give them more time to get to the final clue first. I felt that they are really starting to mature as characters and that the authors all seem to have a handle on them now so they are becoming more real. There are also more plot twists and surprises, which will be fun for children & adults to guess what is going to happen next and try to solve the mystery on their own before it is revealed.

This is such a wonderful series, and this last book will make you laugh, cry and have hope - even if you haven't read the earlier ones, but I do recommend doing the series in order.  You will become part of the community of characters.  Looking forward to re-reading!

Awesome! I now have read all 3 books in th I series.  Loved the first two! When I began the this book, I was assuming that it would have the same characters as the first two.  Initially bummed, I quickly was taken with Sasha (Sassy) and Mr. Turner. And was reading practically all the time (at least every chance I got between kids practices, work and meals,lol)  I teared up when Alex found the photo of Sasha's family and he realised why she did what she did.  I thought this series of books were definitely worth the read!!!

I must stress you must read the first 5 books in the series before you can enjoy this one. Book one Floor Time hooked me with just first few pages and each book after leaves you wanting more. This book goes into more detail about MO, Jack Gordon's sister. The whole group of friends r here and if you are a big fan of Jack,like I am, some very interesting character development happens. Since I don't want to spoil the only thing I can say you will laugh,perhaps shed a tear but like all the other books in the on going series you at the end will be left wanting more! Next book in series releases sometime in 2013. In between book release check out MS. Crowe's romance group on face book,as well as Jack Gordon and Craig's  face book pages. The romance group is an interesting place to not only talk with others about this series but to also gain insight to the other books the talented MS.Crowe writes.

This is great fun for anyone who has read the previous four books. All the characters I've grown to love come into play and have great scenes. Humor and action are prevalent throughout.

Warning: DO NOT START WITH THIS BOOK. Better yet, don't start with this series. Start with "The Pawn of Prophesy" and go through the whole ten books.

The reason I am not a verified Amazon purchase is because I've read my own battered copy many times.

Otto's turn!  I do love Katie Ruggle's books, she delivers stories with fantastic plots and characters that are truly memorable.  This newest series with the dogs are just catnip for me!  Otto and Sarah's story don't disappoint at all.  The suspense factor is still excellent, the characterization has always been great, multidimensional wrapped often times in humor but always with a side dose of emotional depth.  Survive the Night like all the books in this series will definitely keep you up reading till the last page.  Although this could read as a standalone, it's actually best to read all books in the series, since there is an overarching plot that connects all the books and isn't totally solved until the last book in the series.  The whole series is definitely one big page turner and readers will be very impatient how the whole thing wraps up!

I bought this book that included all three books, but I wanted to say I highly enjoyed this book before I read the others. It has plenty of mystery making you want to read the rest of the books,  but stays mostly focused on the characters.  I love that her characters are crude,  like myself and my husband... far from boring.  Definitely worth reading.

This may have been my favorite of all of the series. If you like JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, CL Quinn's The Firsts, Laura Adrian's Midnight Breed, Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians, Rebecca Zanetti's Dark Protecters and other 'family-focused' supernatural romances you'll love this series as well. I was late starting it for some reason but I'm so glad I finally got around to reading! Very well-written, easy to understand (I love Nalini Singh's books but sometimes I am easily confused), and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend starting with Book one and you won't regret it!

If you like well-researched historical fiction/mysteries, do yourself a favor and read this first in a wonderful series.  I read quite a few of them years ago and was so happy to reconnect with this writer and her characters.  The storyline is compelling along with very believable and three dimensional people.  I think what I love most of all about this series, is that the author understands and likes all of her people and let's us, as the reader, also understand.

I am loving this series, and Dana's book in this series is amazing!  Both of the main characters have experiences with reporters, but their feelings towards the profession are completely different.  Throughout the story,  these feelings create turbulence for Madison and James.  Add on mystery and adventure, and you have a wonderful story!

I was given an advanced readers copy on exchange for my honest review. Please

Start at the beginning of the series with Dead Witch Walking.  Kim Harrison is a great writer who weaves wisdom into her page turners.  I found myself highlighting various pages in her books because she puts in profound tidbits of how to live well that make her books so much more than just amazingly enjoyable fiction.  Do yourself a favor and read the series.
