Senior year is supposed to be the best part of high school, but Terry is still recovering from the crazy summer at an archaeological dig where she nearly died. Her friends Maude and Fraser are supportive, but her boyfriend is off at college and the occasional weekend visits aren't enough. There is school and decisions about where to go to college or whether to take a break and work. Strange dreams are disturbing Terry's sleep and they also hear that Tanya, a fellow student, is being treated at the local hospital. A homeless man shows up in several locations, even in the lobby of Terry's building. Another man is found dead in the neighborhood. Weird graffiti appears and includes some of the images from Terry's dreams. And how does it all tie in with strange comments from Tanya about "the power of three"? Terry has the mark of the asp, and she encountered the diadem at the dig. What is this third artifact?
With a mix of teenage romance, Egyptian mythology, mystery and some action scenes, this is a book that will pull readers in and keep them quickly turning the pages to see what happens next. Whether readers enjoy the mystique of ancient artifacts, the suspense of coded messages, the dynamics of teenage dating, or just the real drama of navigating the move from high school on to college and career - there is plenty to hold their attention.
I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
