Fluorine uranium carbon potassium. Jane’s experiment really went wrong this time. After a fatal accident, teen scientist Jane becomes the first modern-day…mummy.
Waking up in the Egyptian underworld without a heart certainly isn’t the best—especially when it means Anubis, god of embalming, has to devour her soul. Yuck. But when Jane meets the drop-dead gorgeous god, suddenly she's thinking this might not be the worst thing to happen.
And then Anubis asks her to do the impossible—just time-travel and kill King Tut. Well, every experiment has variables which can end in disaster… Jane just wishes she could decide whether she wants to strangle Anubis or kiss him.

Fluorine uranium carbon potassium. Jane's experiment really went wrong this time. After a fatal
accident, teen scientist Jane becomes the first modern-day...mummy. Waking up in the
Egyptian underworld without a heart certainly isn't the best--especially when it means Anubis,
god of embalming, has to devour her soul. Yuck. But when Jane meets the drop-dead gorgeous
god, suddenly she's thinking this might not be the worst thing to happen. And then she is
pushed to do the impossible--just time-travel and kill King Tut. Well, every experiment has
variables which can end in disaster... Jane just wishes she could decide whether she wants to
strangle Anubis or kiss him. (Amazon Blurb)
At one point in our lives, we’ve studied the Egyptian Gods and whether or not they captivated
our attention for longer than the time frame of the history portion dedicated to it, it is while we
read Leah and Kate Rooper’s novel that you realize how fascinating that history portion could
have been. This is a new concept for me, one where a link is created between an Egyptian God,
Anubis, and Jane, a genuine scientist that would rather spend her days catching up on different
aspects of science, even if she already knows it. The dynamic is different, you’d think at first a
young adult novel along the lines of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson’s and the Olympians series
and the Heroes of Olympus series, only to realize that there is something more, or the possibility
of more, and captivates your attention so that when you lay your kindle or book down, all you
see is a replay of what you just read. Then you have no choice, you count the hours and
minutes until you can read some more and find out why history is fascinating. As you can
imagine, I loved this novel written by this duo, making realistic, tangible and human the gods
that I’ve spent years studying in school and then in later schooling; it is, quite frankly, a
recommended read for readers wanting to immerse themselves in the past and watching the
change from someone no one thought possible.
