Rating: 5 out of 5

I've always been interested in Classical mythology (Greece and Rome) and Egyptian mythology too. So when I started to read Blood on the Moon by Cassiel Knight, I was drawn in from the beginning, and enjoyed the entire book. I thought the pacing was good, and it held my attention to the end. There were scenes in the book when I laughed out loud as well. Having read Blood on the Moon, I hope there's a sequel. I would like to see how the story continues, as I want to read more about all the characters.The main character, Mia Langdon, is an archaeologist, and from the first page, I couldn't help but think she was a combination of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft. That's definitely a positive thing, as I love the Indiana Jones movies. Because of that, I liked her. She was strong, tough, and determined, while caring about those that worked for her. I also loved how she could be sarcastic at times. There were several secondary characters that I grew to like - Harrison, Sebastian, Jewel and Sophie. I was drawn to Ryder as well, just because of the mystery surrounding him. I'll also admit that as far as secondary characters, he ended up being one of my favorites.This was a good urban fantasy book, with incorporation of Egyptian mythology as well. Because of that, I would recommend it to those who like those genres. I give it a 5/5 star rating.
