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.
