Deadly Action in the Desert of Dubai

Blood in the Sand, T.S. Falk's newest book in the Ancient Secrets series, is a blockbuster. From the action-packed start through the adrenaline-filled story to the mind-blowing end, every word will keep you on the edge of your chair.

It finally appears that Professor Elliott Brand and Ashra Shah will be able to settle down to raise their daughter, Shiri. Elliott is back in the classroom, fighting the effect his world-saving reputation is having on his class attendance.

However, as Ashra calls him, Elliott seems to be a trouble magnet. His domestic peace is disturbed in a big way. Coming home from a little night out, Ashra notices their bedroom curtains have been disturbed. She finds a bomb under their bed and the entire building has to be evacuated.

Before Elliott knows what hit him, he and Ashra are on their way to Dubai, as guests of the Royal family. The tangled web awaiting them will take everything they have to survive. And in the end, will it be enough? Quite the cliffhanger ending by T.S. Falk. I feel a new book in the offing.

Ashra is a badass

Another great installment in the Ancient Secrets adventures. A thrill ride with Elliot in danger and Ashra going all Die Hard to help him out. Love these two.

Blood in the Sand

This is an interesting follow up to some of the ancient secrets stories. The ending however leaves me to suspect that all is not resolved. The only way to know for sure is to wait for the next book.
