A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Tamazon
Mona Risk takes on a new genre and takes us on an Egyptian adventure. She delves deep into the subject of infidelity, love, forgiveness and commitment. In Osiris' Missing Part you have a brother's betrayal. Osiris is an Egyptian god. He is tricked by his brother Seth into trying out a sarcophagus. In the end Osiris gets trapped and cut into 14 parts. His body is hidden around Egypt. Isis loves Osiris and she goes on a quest to find his missing parts and puts him back together. She finds all but one of his parts. She uses a human part to make him whole and he does come back. But he's not happy with his one human part and so they continue searching. Without this last part he just isn't whole and he's missing his god powers, or so he thinks. As they continue the search more transpires and more twists are unveiled. Mona Risk draws upon Egypt and the mythology of the Egyptian gods. Join her for the adventure as she takes you on a trip into the past and into an enjoyable realm. I enjoyed this tale and look forward to more Mona Risk titles. The only thing that rubbed me wrong was Osiris's infidelity, but gods will be gods. It did add some reality to the setting.

Book Blurb for Osiris' Missing Part
Blush sensuality level: This is a sensual romance (may have explicit love scenes, but not erotic in frequency or type).
According to the legend, the evil Egyptian god of storm, Seth, killed his brother Osiris, chopped him into fourteen pieces and flung them all over Egypt. Isis, goddess of family, reassembled thirteen of his body parts. Since she couldn’t find his supernatural male member, where his godly power was stored, she reattached a human one.
Isis has always loved Osiris, the charming god of labor. While dreaming of marriage, family and a son, she helps him fight Seth. Together they struggle to survive iniquities and perils.
His trip to the Afterlife has changed Osiris. He regrets his past womanizing. Guided by oracles she utters when they make love, they search lands and seas for his missing organ so he can recover his godly attributes. Osiris has fallen in love with Isis but the sins of his past and their unexpected consequences threaten to separate them more painfully than Seth's mayhem and curses.
