Inheritance by S.K. Whiteside was beyond a delight to read, it was an adventure. The story, built on a foundation of Egyptian mythology, mixed with the mortar of the paranormal is rock solid. Inheritance is the beginning of the "World of the Guardians" series and as a start it resembles a 50 yard dash of pure talent.I am not one for spoilers, so the facts are I break a story down into the three crucial components to see if everything meshes together well. The plot for this story seemed a tad bit hazy at the start, but it soon started to become clear where the writer was aiming to end up, so slow flow to start with a great adrenaline rush cresting point, and a nice trail to a calm ending. An ending that deftly leads into another adventure for the series.Characters help make a story worth reading, or they can destroy a story. Whiteside molded her characters from a mixture of mythology and bringing that into the present day. She did not weigh the story down with too much back story, but gave each enough to allow you to feel the character's growth. As an author the art of the tease was precise and the characters draw you into the action and make you a part of the story. This is a talent that now all authors have, nor will they ever have. This is a rare thing for a series, but I am going to give this one that top ranking, that I rarely give. I say definitely keep S.K. Whiteside on the authors to watch list!
