Love's Curse by Ellen Mint - Book Review

Love can never die.


Emma intends to spend another Valentine’s Day with the dead Egyptian princess she’s studying, but her world of museums and mummies is hurled into chaos by the arrival of a man, one who looks like if sex was a librarian.

Tarek is fascinated with Emma’s research into the famous heartbroken princess mummy…and she wishes he’d be fascinated with her too. When her hand touches his, a curse millennia in the making unfolds, and the heartbroken princess rises from her tomb.

In this heart-racing story of love, betrayal and death, two people find themselves trying to defy history and come together…with the help of a goddess of love. Can their love defy death itself?


My Review

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

First off, I am a big fan of Brendan Fraser's The Mummy. So this book brought back a lot of fond memories of that movie.

So you know, this book is about the mummy rising and having some kind of curse. The author has blended humor and action beautifully. The heroine is funny and unpretentious with a knack of knocking things over which makes her a cute and adorable character. The hero is smart and courageous. All that feeling of past connection and both being mysterious makes the story compelling.

Every page is action packed and the story keeps you hooked. I liked how the mystery ravels slowly with scenes playing out in history. Present day scene and the past are beautifully blended together.
The ending was a bit weird, and I don't want to give anything away, I guess after reading and really enjoying this book as a whole, the ending let me a bit confused.
