Cleopatra Ascending
Shadow’s Edge Series Book Two
By Maureen Lipinski
Rhea has just turned sweet sixteen
and discovered she is Cleopatra’s reincarnate. This really isn’t much of a
surprise, more like a let-down, she wishes she had cooler powers like her
sisters or her mom the most she can do is draw attention from the people around
her. That is until her powers begin to manifest themselves and she is soon in
danger from people who would wish to use Cleopatra’s abilities against mankind.
I had no idea that this was the
second book in a series; you can definitely tell you’ve missed something when
you start reading but it’s still a great story even if you start in the middle
like I did. Maureen Lipinski has created a fantastic story here centering on
Rhea and her past life. Even though Rhea is absolutely intriguing and the main
character of the novel there are several times when her sisters and mother draw
the attention away from Rhea making you want to know more about their unique
gifts. Through the blending of dreams Rhea glimpses events in her past life
that are so well written and descriptive you can almost see yourself in ancient
Egypt. The author takes something simple
from Egyptian mythology and plays it to its fullest captivating readers and
transporting us into another world. I cannot wait to see what else the author
has in store for Rhea.
