....but what does the tablet do?!?
If Indiana Jones and James Bond are lovers and agents of a secret society a bit like the Library meets Warehouse 13.

I enjoyed it, but I would have loved to see more of how Emil and Misha's relationship got where it did. The evolution is completely bypassed. Still, I loved their dynamics.

I am an independent reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock. I received Ptolemy's Tablet from its author and from them. This short novella has two main characters Emil and Misha who are worldly partners in an attempt to save the mundane (human) world. The story takes with the two in Egypt, the authors knowledge of the culture and area were very thoroughly researched and made you feel like you were actually seeing the scenery and action taking place. The author also used a good blen

A fun, sweet, adventurous tale
I'm glad we get a little peek into Emil & Misha. You don't need to read the 1st book in this series to enjoy this story.

This is a short story in the Shades Below series and takes us on an adventure with Emil and Misha. They are in Egypt to recover a dangerous artifact, but they are not the only ones. Emil and Misha struggle with their feelings for each other as they are hunted by the secret police and mercenaries. I liked Emil, he was clever and considerate, the name Puzzle is apt for Misha. The author describes action sequences really well and Egyptian culture is woven seamlessly into the narrative. I just wish

I enjoyed this very much as I am a fan of this series. The only reason I have given it a three star and not more was that it is a short story and more of a expansion of characters we meet in the main plot through the series. It wouldn't be fair to those novels as these are much more complex.
