BIO USA Today Bestselling Author, Tigris Eden loves reading and writing. One of Tigris’ fondest memories, was in the sixth grade, when her teacher read her story, “The Case of The Missing Pepperoni”, out loud to the class. It was then she decided she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. But like all childhood dreams, reality has a way of crashing in and disrupting plans. But her imagination and the voices inside her head never stopped talking. Every dream she could remember was jotted down in her dream journals.
When she’s not writing Tigris marvel’s at life’s gifts. She likes to take pictures of beautiful things. She openly admits that what she may find beautiful another person might not, and she’s perfectly okay with that. She enjoys her music and doesn’t leave home without it. Long pillow conversations with LL about nonsensical things, and hanging out with her boys, when they deem her “cool enough.”
Tigris is a military brat who’s done her fair share of travelling, thanks to her Army father. She’s married to the infamous LL and has three boys. She currently resides in Houston and is actively seeking a book-buddy for the end of the world.
You can find Tigris on Twitter, Facebook, and at her website.
Heavy on the mythology from the start. I felt I needed to have a mythology book with me. Action from the start. This book contained a lot of emotions, jealousy, desire, protection, quest for knowledge, intrigue, etc. When it picked up for me it really gripped me. good read.
This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning. There is lots of action, drama, and school-girl jealousy. The kind that might get you killed.
This is book one of what looks to be a serial. Because book one is only the beginning. While book one is completely captivating it doesn't finish things up. There is plenty more to come. I can't wait to find out what happens next.
I enjoyed the book but it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger. I did get lost in some of the Egyptian mythology. I liked that Netet was a strong character who stands up for herself especially since she is thrown into a world where she doesn’t know the rules.
So much was packed into this short introductory book to the Academy of the Gods series. Orphaned Nenet finds out she is so much more than she ever imagined. She is whisked away to a school in Egypt and introduced to her true nature. There are some who want to destroy her, and it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who is an enemy. I cannot wait to see what happens next. I highly recommend this book but you may want to wait until subsequent books are released. Waiting to find out what happens next is difficult.
Wicked fun read! Blends modern real world with the magic of ancient Egyptian gods & mythology and makes it all plausible, down to the mean girl clique and love triangle situation. Eden has a talent for blending fantasy and reality and it becomes addictive fast.
Gah! where is the rest of the book?! Just as it was starting to pick up it eneded. I really need to see what happens to Nenet. If you are the inpatient sort, i would hold off until more books in the series are written, because i got the barest taste of what promises to be a heck of a story and now i have to wait.
I did not enjoy Accepted. This book clearly needed editing and consistency passes. The book starts out very rocky. The MC is approached by an unknown man who just invited himself in and gives her no choice but to fly across the world because of prophecy! The dialogue was unrealistic even for fantasy book standards. I persisted. I thought, "Bad start, but not a deal breaker. Let's see where this goes." It turned into your typical magical academy story: plain person attends magical school, finds out they are special, fated to a handsome prince.
But then the inconsistencies kick in. In one chapter you learn information that negates what you learned two chapters before. And this happens for more than one plot point. Not to mention how every side character seems ready to open up the story through exhibition, leaving no room for real mystery. And these are supposed to be characters that are just as clueless as the main character.
The biggest error was evident at/started at chapter 27 and 28. These two chapters were the same scene, written with a different outcome. Back to back. Antagonist meets in the dark with evil being with two separate conversations about the same thing. A mistake? Something the author left in on accident? Nope. Because it happens again. As the book progresses again, the way the MC is brought back from her coma happens in two different chapters in two different ways. And the chapters in between contradict each other as the main love interest tells his father to Foff in one chapter only to return to obeying him in the next. A character will reveal reading a private journal to another and then a few chapters ahead, they reveal it again as if the earlier conversation didn't happen.
There are continued inconsistencies but I think that illustrated the point enough. I almost DNF'd it and only finished it through pushing myself.
I really enjoyed this start of series book! Hooked me in right away. The main character Nenet is a strong character that has been thrown into a world that she didn’t know existed. She seems to stay true to herself even after learning she is the true child of Anubis. Would love to read more of this series!
