Ilustration As Books The Summoning (Sisters of Isis #1)
Following the incredible success of "Daughters of the Moon," Lynne Ewing has created an all new fun and hip teen fantasy series.
Based in Egyptian mythology and set in modern-day Washington, D.C., Sisters of Isis follows the lives of Meri, Sudi, and Dalila, three fifteen-year-old girls who have just discovered they are descendants of very powerful ancestors-Egyptian pharaohs. From these ancestors they've inherited magical powers of transformation, the ability to cast spells from the Book of Thoth, and, as they will soon learn, the responsibility of protecting the world from the evil forces of Chaos.

I started this series just to see if it was any good - I'm a fan of the DotM series of hers and love it despite it's silliness at times, and hoped this one would be as good. I'm kind of still on the fence about how I feel about this series.It clearly follows a very similar formula as DotM. A group of girls discovering they're connected to ancient mythology and gods, and have to fight against the growing forces of darkness as they learn about their new powers. Romance is sprinkled through out.I absolutely love this author and her other two series - Daughters of the Moon and Sons of the Dark. This series is a nice change from those, but with that same urgency of saving the world. This time though, three girls are descendants of pharoahs and forced into battling Egyptian gods, mummies and other such creatures as well as a cult of priests conjuring them up. There's romance as well and takes place when the three girls are in high school. I'm already addicted to the series.
It was a really good book for a fast read. Really fast paced, an easy read to read in your spare time. I picked it up at my local library and read it and didn't regret it!
Actual rating: 3.5 Sudi, Meri, and Dalila have just found out that they are Descendants of the Egyptian gods and their powers have awakened. They must learn spells to defend themselves from the Anubis cult that wants to kill them to cut off the godly bloodline. Fighting demons, mastering spells, getting through high school... Whew! Who said being a royal was easy?Wonderful concept, nice knowledge of mythology, but the writing is rather shallow and the characters a bit on the flat side.
Great story! But uhh......WHY ARE YOUNG GIRLS IN THIS BOOK SO OBSESSED WITH WANTING TO HAVE SEX AND LOSING THEIR VIRGINITY??? Why... the majority of the characters are only around fifteen... It's bad enough having adults being all sex crazed like wild monkeys, don't have them young people be like that too! :P *Heart weeps for the next generation if work of fiction reflects today's reality*ANYWAAAAAY, I really liked this story. I laughed SO HARD when the mummy fell in love with Sudi and how she
A normal teenager, Sudi, that hangs out with her friends, has troubles with her sisters while thinking about the recent broke up with his boyfriend and has a crush in one of the nicest boys in the school. Her life is a complete disaster and if that didnt seemed enough a weird news that changes her life entirely ruins her life or she think it does. Sky Terrace, a very fancy restaurant, was the night where Sudi discovered her true reality. Abdel the guy that was waiting for her tells Sudi, Meri
