=Alex and his band of survivors are off to Egypt in the desperate hope of finding his mom, but the hot desert carries more than they expect. Yet another Death Walker, the Order, a violent hunter, betrayal and the journey of learning how to use their amulets. This was a sizzling hot read that left its mark.

Yet another in the series that I enjoyed though my reading partner was quite frustrated over the book, but in the best of ways. This is a fun read for all ages though if you've got younger readers (I'm thinking early-mid elementary), be prepared that this is probing more into the darker side, becoming more emotional and escalating the risks. Still a fantastic read, you just might have to do some shoulder pats. 

Would recommend and hoping I get the next book before my buddy reader finishes their copy cause they are not patient or good at withholding spoilers.

Book #111 Read in 2015
Tombquest: Valley of the Kings by Michael Northrop (YA)

This is the third book in a middle grade paranormal/mystery series. Alex is trying to find his mother as well as dealing with Death Walkers....Egyptian Gods who are coming back to life. "The Order" is trying to use the Death Walkers to bring evil into the world. Alex, with help from his friend Ren and his cousin Luke, are trying to stop the order. These books are quick reads packed with lots of actions and both male and female students in middle grades would enjoy these books.

Better than the 2nd one, not as good as the first. Ren needed to get over it and tell Alex about her issues with the amulet. And UGH to being betrayed. It's too common in these types of MG books. For once, I'd like to see it NOT happen in a series.
