Evelyn, the daughter of Lord Carnarvon accompanies her father on a trip to Egypt to witness the opening of a newly found, untouched tomb in the Valley of the Kings. However, a curse is triggered, and the tragic consequences mean that Evelyn returns to England alone. Once home, she invites psychic Madeleine de Longpre to travel from her home in France to investigate the curse and help make sense of the tragedy. Madeleine's journey to England is interrupted by an apparition which ultimately leads to terror and more death. Can Evelyn and Madeleine solve the mystery of the curse and find out who the spectre is who has followed Madeleine to Evelyn's home? Can they prevent more death and bring closure to more than just one individual?
Wrath pulled me in from the very first page. The setting, Egypt and England in the early 1900s, is rich, vivid, and full of mystery. Evelyn's journey from excitement to heartbreak after the tragedy in the Valley of the Kings really hit me, and the way Lana Thompson weaves in the supernatural element makes it feel both haunting and deeply human. Madeleine de Longpre is such a fascinating character, her psychic abilities bring a chilling and emotional layer to the story. When the apparition begins to follow her, the suspense builds beautifully, and the story takes on a dark, almost gothic tone that kept me guessing right up until the end. The writing is elegant, detailed, and immersive. I could practically feel the desert heat and the cold English mist. But beyond the mystery and the supernatural curse, what really stood out to me was the sense of loss, connection, and the search for closure that runs through the entire book. If you enjoy historical mysteries with a touch of the paranormal, something that feels like a cross between The Mummy and a classic gothic ghost story, Wrath is absolutely worth reading.
Wrath is an atmospheric supernatural mystery that blends history and haunting suspense. When Evelyn returns from Egypt after a tragic curse is unleashed, she seeks help from psychic Madeleine de Longpre. But Madeleine brings a terrifying apparition with her, sparking more danger and unanswered questions. Lana builds tension beautifully as the two women race to uncover the truth behind the curse and the spectre stalking them. A gripping, eerie, and engaging read perfect for fans of gothic, paranormal mysteries.
