I'll give this 3.5 stars. This is my first for Chenery and I can say that I both loved it and was a little disappointed.
Mehen is an Egyptian warrior to the Egyptian god, Ra. I thought this made for an excellent story line because, lets face it, you don't read much about Egyptian anything in the romance category. Or, at least I don't. Mehen is the leader of his band of brothers and together they fight the undead who threaten mortals. All of the men have lived their immortal lives accepting that...more

First off let me just say that I loved the concept of this book. The whole Egyptian thing was awesome. I love watching the history channel when it does Egyptian history.
With that said, the dialogue was corny as hell. It could have been a lot better written. I was cringing on some parts and wanting to laugh out loud because the dialogue was just....::shakes head:: bad.
The characters weren't all that well developed. Except for a few because they played bigger rolls. Such as Takan, Akori, Set. Ak...more

Blythe knew she was running into a trap. There was no exit at the end of the alleyway, but that didn’t stop her from trying to run. Her fight or flight instinct had kicked in and flight ended up being the big winner. Doing her best to run in heels, she took off down the alley and prayed that someone would happen to be there who could help her.
She skidded to a halt before she reached the back of the alley. Another man stood there, and from the evil grin on his face, he had to be with the other tw...more

Can love really conquer all between woman and man, even when mortality threatens to separate them in end? Or when the gods of good and evil blur the lines even more?
One of Ra’s chosen, Mehen, leads his fellow warriors in the fight against the undead and the protection of mortals. He’s lived hundreds of years knowing what his duty entails and has accepted the loneliness that comes with it. That is, until he saves a feisty young woman from three undead and suddenly his emotions, desire, and blood...more

All of the books in this series are exactly the same, down to the first sexual act of two fingers in the snatch and licking her off. Well, if I don't remember incorrectly, there was one first-time that wasn't that, but really, an okay read, but nothing great, especially not the sex. Monotonous after a while. The only book that I might like is foreseen hunger, but after reading through the first 5 I'm not interested in picking it up for a while.

Despite being intrigued by the use of the Egyptian pantheon- and being free... dnf.
Once again we find someone leaning heavily on the Whedonverse vampire mythos and a plethora of other paranormal romances out there where a cadre of supernatural warriors hunt down the evil other vampires. I couldnt shake the feeling that I was reading plagiarized material- even though I wasn't.

This book has an interesting background with all the Egyptian mythology, and that carried me along in reading even when I was annoyed with certain elements. Ra's Chosen are warriors who protect mortals from Set's undead, and Mehen, the leader of the chosen, is discovering a new twist to Ra's plans, one that includes a mate. Blythe is trying to make sense of everything the chosen are sharing with her, and no one can deny the connection she shares with Mehen even when neither of them wants it.

The writing is passable as best, the storytelling generally weak, but it's an enjoyable read. This book is almost more erotica than romance novel, which will be a plus for some and a minus for others; I don't mind either way. The author clearly shares some common pet peeves about romance novels and chooses to defy them (mostly the constant miscommunication that tends to go on) a bit, but doesn't really know how to create conflict otherwise. This is a Mary Sue born and bred, but a decent one, and...more
Good easy read... Characters were ok and seemed to care about each other but I got annoyed by the repeat in the story line. They would come together, he would get scared and run over and over again without any real changes in the situation. I also thought the story was forced with solutions that just magically fixed everything while the charaters did little or nothing to help themselves. Overall worth reading once, but I would love to see the story developed more in upcoming books.
Pretty good book and nice start to the series. Ra is the Sun God. His chosen are a group of hunky vampires (living in our time). Their mission is to seek out his enemies 'the undead' and kill them. Mehen is their leader. While on patrol, he rescues Blythe and they have an instant attraction for each other. He is the 1st of his men to go through mating heat...and this sets up the rest of the series for the others to find their future mates. I liked all the guys and their sense of humor. The suspe...more

Mehen and Blythe. This was a really good read, Mehen is one of Ra Chosen who fights the undead and she is his chosen mate. The first of the mates for Ra's Chosen. It had a little of Dark Series kind of feel to it, same kind of story line. He finds his lifemate and only her blood will sustain him. But is was still enjoyable.
4 1/2 stars.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a little different than her other books but it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the twists that the story made and I found myself reading it all in one sitting. Definitely worth reading of you are into paranormal & sexy 'vampire' warriors.

Enjoyed this book more that I thought I would. This was a new direction from my typical PNR reading and I am glad I found this new series. The characters were likable. I am excited to read the next book to see where the storyline goes. Would recommend it to other PNR readers.
This is book one in the series of Ra's Chosen. The story is very unique and creative. I really enjoyed it. It just seemed to focus more on the physical side of the relationships and missed out on a chance to really get in depth with the characters.
This was one of the 1st nook books I downloaded and am just know getting to read. I really enjoyed this book. It reminds me of JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood. Great start to a new series for me. I will be reading more from this author.
I got this for free or 99 cents and what a great buy! It is well written and a great start to this series, on to read the rest!
I loved the Egyptian plot line. I hope that there is a second soon. It seems to me that authors continually get better so I believe that I will like the 2nd more.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved how possessive the hero was!
3.5 A good read though nothing exceptional
Mehen !!
For a paranormal romance, this was ok. Interesting concept and good characters, but the plot and the 'pseudo-vampire' theme are old, and the love scenes are repetitive.
Amazon Kindle freebie
A bit drawn out and wordiness. Nice imagination by the author. A bit of a twist on the usual vampire tale.
I really like the book i going to purchase the next one in the series.
review pending
