Candice Cushing and the Lost Tomb of Cleopatra by Georgette Kaplan
4.0
4 Stars
This was a fun, action-packed sequel in the Cushing-Nevada Chronicles. This picks up right after the previous book, “Easy Nevada and the Pyramid’s Curse” left off. I highly recommend reading these in order as you will miss many of the plot points that come up in this.
Easy Nevada is the same lovable idiot in this, maybe even more so as I now find her to be endearing and some of her comments and actions just make me smile and shake my head. These books cannot be taken too seriously, Easy cannot be taken seriously. If you try to take it seriously, she will probably offend you. A lot. Kaplan did make her a bit more human here, and now that I know more of her background and why she’s doing what she’s doing I do find her to be more sympathetic. But she is still crass and I honestly don’t know how she can find the will to flirt and run for her life at the same time.
Candice gets to shine a bit more in this one, as you can probably tell by the title. Her intelligence really shines through here and it was fun watching her work out these ancient puzzles using only her brain. She’s in the middle of the desert so she can’t really whip out her phone and google things to give her answers. It was also entertaining how she and Nevada got to know each other better and opened themselves up to one another; all the while flirting and squabbling with each other.
I don’t know if book 3 is the end of the series but I can’t wait to read and see if Nevada and Candice can finally get a break and maybe take a nap.
