I... don't think I can finish this right now. As hot as I am for the sequel set in Minoan Crete, and as much as I enjoyed the beginning of this novel once I realized we did not only get a cute physician-and-seer love interest from Ancient Egypt, but also a second-chance romance, about 50% in the plot suddenly got ridiculous. Are you honestly trying to tell me that this American woman from the 1990s does not realize the capital-P Plagues of Egypt are happening around her? The plot twist got me ba...

I was curious by the idea of Reflections in the Nile. I like to read about ancient Egypt, add to that the possibility of time travel and you could have a very entertaining tale. But not an easy plot to accomplish, despite its potential, as it turned out.I enjoyed most of Chloe's adventures when she, through a vortex in time, finds herself in the time of the woman pharaoh Hatshepsut, as an evil priestess. However, I liked her lover Lord Cheftu, a court magus and physician, better. The difficulty...

Me ha parecido una muy buena historia en general. Cierto que el que se desarrollara en el antiguo Egipto le daba un punto más porque la egiptología y la arqueología siempre consiguen atraparme.Sin embargo, si hubo un par de cosas que me chirriaron un poco porque me parecieron bastante inconsistentes como por ejemplo que después de que ella “invadiera” el cuerpo de la otra estuviera embarazada y a la misma vez siguiera manteniendo la virginidad de su yo del presente. Es lo de lo más surrealista.T...

Oh god, this book was baaaaaad. I have no clue how it has such a high rating. There are a two mild positive aspects to this book:1. It was so bad that at times it burst out the other side of dreadful to become hysterically funny. I had a great time describing the ridiculous "plot twists" to my coworker during long drives out to work sites. 2. I picked this book up because I wanted a hot slice of Ancient Egyptian escapism, and the book assuaged that craving fairly well. The wording was often trit...

Obviously, I'm biased. I wrote these books because it seemed to me the COOLEST thing in the world to go back in time to ancient Egypt. But if a person knew all the details and was just confirming (or rewriting) what she'd expected, then ... where would be the fun? The adventure? The growth? Enter Chloe -- modern woman, multi-cultural, forward-thinker, but with enough understanding to comprehend the history she's living, and the skills needed to (barely) make her way through. I loved writing this...

Egypt is one of the countries I fell in love with as a child. Mummy's, pyramids and pharoahs - what more could a girl ask for? This book is a bit more grown-up than my childhood Egyptian reads, but I loved it anyway. Time travel is always fun and Frank does it in a good way.

From it's book cover:"Imagine that you, a contemporary tourist, are standing awestruck in an ancient Egyptian temple. Suddenly a vortex in time and space sends you back thousands of years to a desert kingdom of glittering splendor. Your body has merged with that of a beautiful, scheming priestess, but your sensibilities, your intelligence, your terror remains that of a modern woman who is trying to get back home, trying, in this place of strangeness and wonder, to stay alive...Rich in sensuality...
