Of Gold and Shadows: Time's Lost Treasures Book 1 By Michelle Griep from Bethany House Publishing. The shadows hold secrets darker than they ever imagined. . . . In 1888 Victorian England, Ami Dalton navigates a clandestine dual life. By day, she strives to establish herself as a respected Egyptologist, overcoming the gender biases that permeate academia. But with a heart for saving black-market artifacts from falling into the wrong hands, she is often disguised as her alter ego, the Shadow Broker.
After eight years in India, Oxford's most eligible bachelor, Edmund Price, has come out of the shadows to run for Parliament and is searching for an Egyptologist to value a newly acquired collection. Expecting a renowned Oxford professor, Edmund instead finds himself entangled with Ami, the professor's determined daughter. As they delve into the treasures, their connection deepens. Still, trouble emerges when a golden griffin rumored to bear the curse of Amentuk surfaces, and they're left to wonder if the curse really is at play, or if something more nefarious is hiding among the shadows.
My Opinion: I
really enjoyed this book and of course my first read by this author, Her
characters were vivid and became very real to me. Ami and Edmund's romance was
my favorite kind - clean, yet obviously passionate. The setting was unique and
interesting. This book was a real page-turner. In a rare turn of events, I read
all day, putting aside my other duties, to finish. Thanks, Michelle, for a
great read!
