Thankfully Whyborne is there to help him. He just can't escape his worst nightmare.

And since that is a favorite of all time movie of mine, I'm not complaining at all. And yes, as other reviews have said, it reminds me of The Mummy in some ways but it's also different in a lot of ways. Man oh man! Was this an exciting installment or what?!? Whyborne and Griffin travel to Egypt to help Christine out. Review of book 3.5: Remnant: A Caldwell & Feximal/Whyborne & Griffin Mystery But then that's part of the series' charm. The mystery was still engaging if a bit predictable, by now we all know that anything that can go wrong will do so in the most spectacular manner. Can't wait to see how it evolves in the following books. Rather endearing really, in light of his previous treatment. Although our long-suffering hero may be firmly convinced that no one save his mother tolerates his presence there, the reader can definitely see signs to the contrary from his father. My personal favorite part though, was the Whyborne family dinner. not that anyone would dare call her that to her face, heh. Always good to see an M/M romance that spares some rewards to the 'sidekick'. erm the very beginning of one, at any rate. And yes, there's prophecies, and daemons, and bad guys who get foreshadowed by their smell, and there's even enough time to squeeze in some romance for Christine. Given the genre of the series, not having an adventure set in an Egypt would've been most suspicious.

give in, and help you out of a rather sticky situation? Smart girls can wield the power of emotional blackmail most ably. Don't blame me, if you find yourself running from a freak windstorm in a crowded ballroom, or evading a toppling giant Christmas tree.Īlso, since you've been his best friend for quite a while, you should know not to ask him to join you half-way 'round the world. I rather thought it beyond kind for Griffin to respond to the invitation at all, instead of just flinging it into the fire.Īnd I'm not just saying that because I like him, but Whyborne's train of thoughts tends to veer in dangerous directions when bored. NO, not even if you're charitable enough to invite his boyfriend.įather had been involved in a cult which first unjustly confined Griffin to a madhouse, then tried to sacrifice him to an undead abomination. What you do not do is request his presence at a fundraising gala, nor cite him to a family Christmas dinner. For bonus points, consider locking his boyfriend in there as well. If you want to earn brownie points with one Percival Whyborne, you need only to give him a complex ancient scroll to translate and lock him in his office.
