The Cairo Curse by Pepper D. BashamMy rating: 💛💛💛
Rating 3.5
I enjoyed being a part of Grace and Freddie’s love story in The Mistletoe Countess and was excited when I saw we get to see more about their antics and adventures in this sequel. Their love story was something we don’t always see for the period and quite refreshing.
I loved the fictional mind of Grace and how she analyses everything from her world of books. And Freddie’s love and protection towards Grace was so sweet. There were a few humorous moments thanks to some vibrant camels.
I was intrigued by the mystery plot and had quite a few suspects for the bad guy and was surprised with a twist or two. There were moments where I felt the story was moving slowly, but then we get into the adventurous mind of Grace again and things pick up.

About the book:
Pepper D Basham has been telling tales ever since she was a little girl. When her grandmother called her a “writer” at the age of ten, Pepper took it as gospel and has enjoyed various types of writing styles ever since. A native of the Blue Ridge Mountains, mom of five, speech-language pathologist, and lover of chocolate, Pepper enjoys sprinkling her native Appalachian culture into her fiction wherever she can. She currently resides in the lovely mountains of Asheville, NC, where she works with kids who have special needs, searches for unique hats, and plots new ways to annoy her wonderful friends at her writing blog, The Writer’s Alley.
I love the setting in Egypt.
