Passion is all consuming, and Joslyn Wetherly’s attempts at deciphering an ancient Egyptian scroll has become an obsession…even to the detriment of her marriage. Tragedy strikes. Being in a near comatose state opens Joslyn’s perceptions. She discovers her past-life connection to the scroll, which enables her to correctly tell Hatchepsut’s story. Joslyn’s present-day journey takes her to Egypt where she works with her boss, Sam, and another Egyptologist named Ali. Distrust, danger and royal mysteries plague Joslyn as she fulfills an ancient obligation to satisfy the gods and set her soul free.I love anything Egyptian, so I jumped at the chance to read Hieroglyphs. The storyline is engaging and the plot moves at a good pace. For me, only two issues kept this from being a five-star book. The transition from present-day to Hatchepsut’s time in Egypt, as well as her explanation to Sam, could have been smoother and clearer. All in all, I enjoyed Ms. Wylde’s novella Hieroglyphs and look forward to reading more of her work.*Author Ecopy Provided
