Summary from Goodreads
“Her mouth parted slightly, waiting for Seth to breathe life into her own body, just like in the story. She wanted him to awaken her senses.”
Their worlds collide in California’s high desert.
The last thing Natara “Natti” Stone wants to do is to start anew at Setemple High School. She wished she had never left London. Yet the brutal murder of her maternal grandmother has made her life very complicated. The only clue related to her murder is an ancient, encrypted necklace Natti discovered after her grandmother’s death. And if trying to adjust to American life is not enough, Natti is being stalked by a mysterious, charming high school senior, Seth O’Keefe, who is annoyingly persistent in his attempts at seduction.
Seth O’Keefe is secretly a member of the Sons of Set, an order that worships the Egyptian god of chaos. Seth’s blessing from Set, his “charm,” never failed, except with one person: Natti Stone. Her ability to elude him infatuates and infuriates him, and he becomes obsessed with the chase. But the closer he gets to her, the more his emotions take a dangerous turn, and he risks breaking one of the most valued covenants of his order. The punishment for which is a fate worse than death.
The adventure this unlikely couple becomes engulfed in could cost them their lives and their souls.

The characters
Natara “Natti” Stone never wanted to be the new girl at school but she has to since her grandmother was murdered back in England and her father decided that a change of scenery would be good for them.Their new home is in a town called Setemple.The weird thing about this town is that it has signs of the Egyptian civilization everywhere,especially the Setemple High School.
There,on her first day she meets the school's player,Seth O’Keefe, in a pretty intimate moment with a girl.You see,Seth is a member of the Sons of Set.He has the power to manipulate people's minds,especially girls',and take from them the one thing he wants,pleasure and as soon as he sees Natti,he's determined to make her his.
But Natti,being a Daughter of Isis even if she doesn't know it,is immune to his charms,thing that surprises and frustrates Seth.So,he tries to approach her in the most well-know way,which is courting her,something that Seth has never done before.
Seth's father is the hem-netjer,Set's high priest and let me tell you one thing:he's a pretty creepy
guy if you ask me.He disrespects his wife,he sees Seth as his successor and not as his son and the only thing he's after is power and if something or someone gets in his way,he won't hesitate to kill them in order to accomplish his goals.
In the beginning,I kind of hated Seth because he was just using girls to have fun but at some point he realizes that there are more important things,like having feelings for someone.But being a Son of Set means that love is your greatest weakness.Seth must make a choice and fast before it's too late for Natti.
Verdict
Give me a Young Adult book with ancient gods,mythology and a kick ass heroine and I'll read it! Daughter of Isis has it all!Get ready for a deadly battle between good and evil...
Rating: 4 stars!!
