MY REVIEW
While not the greatest fan of vampire stories, there have been one or two I really enjoyed, and I've always had a fascination with ancient Egypt, so I was very interested to read 
Dark Goddess.
Despite the occasional slightly awkward phrase, e.g. - 'his eyes glanced at the floor', it was, on the whole, well written with vividly described locations putting the reader right there in the Egypt the goddess Sekhmet knew.
I learnt a lot about the customs and myths of Egypt and although Sekhmet killed thousands of people in a blood frenzy, it is difficult not to feel a certain amount of sympathy for her. As depicted in this story, she was not really responsible, but a victim of her father's lust for power.
A quick and enjoyable short read.
Four stars
