Book Review for: Osiris' Missing Part
Written by: Mona Risk
Ellora's Cave Publishing
ISBN: 978-141-993-462-9
4.5 Stars

Risk crafts an exotic adventure filled with supernatural happenings, greed, betrayal, and love with "Osiris' Missing Part." Based on an ancient Egyptian legend, the god Seth tricks Osiris into a box and kills him, cutting his body into fourteen parts and spreading them all over Egypt. Will the goddess Isis be successful in resurrecting the only man she truly loves?

The story opens with Isis bringing Osiris back to life, only she's missing the piece where his godly power is stored - his manhood. Osiris is grateful for Isis' efforts, but knows he has to go on a quest to seek out his manhood. Isis agrees to go with him after learning the conditions set upon them by Seth to reattach Osiris' manhood. The condition is insulting to her however - a virgin must reattach Osiris' part with her personal sap.

Osiris and Isis enlist the help of their temple guardians, Sophia, Nica, Shafika, Hosmath, and Toutmass. Seth, however, is not far behind. Once he discovers Osiris and Isis are looking for Osiris' missing member, he finds ways to sabotage their mission.

Along the journey Osiris discovers what a true gem Isis is. She's loyal, faithful, honest, and caring. Isis learns that there are different angles to approach a problem without being so uptight and demanding. Both Isis and Osiris take an inner journey of the soul, as well as a physical adventure. Can love truly find its way into Osiris' heart and can Isis forgive him the sins of the past?

Risk's writing is a wonderful "what-if" of the legend. She blends just the right amount of reality and myth offering the reader a unique and creative story. Her descriptions are "spot on," allowing the reader to visualize ancient Egypt with ease.

The most rewarding aspect of the story was the characterization of Isis and Osiris. While gods and capable of supernatural achievements, both have very human hearts. Osiris was a bit of a womanizer in his first life, but Isis' devotion shows him he can love just one woman. Isis has a tendency not to see "the grey/middle ground" in people and situations and Osiris demonstrates to her that its all right to give your trust to others who have earned it.

The novel is sophisticated for romance readers with love scenes that are graphic, sensual, and tasteful. Risk's imagination shines against the lush backdrop of ancient Egypt. "Osiris' Missing Part" is a wonderful escape to another time and place that proves love does conquer all.

I Too Had A Love Story is the debut novel of the young Indian author Ravinder Singh or Ravin as he is fondly called. This novel is all about falling in love with nothing but honesty in your heart, and that is something that is rarely present these days.

Since its launch, this book has gone on to win many laurels. The main reason for the success of this book, according to me, is the pure honesty with which it is written and that is what connects it to its readers. It is a tale of true and painful love which is something we all have experienced in our life sometime or the other. It is because of this reason only that this book has become a national bestseller and very popular among the youth.

Ravin captures the beauty of romance in an exquisite manner in I Too Had A Love Story. The emotions that come out through words make you relive those moments when you shared your first kiss. I could literally feel the emotions in my own heart while going through this amazing book and was actually moved to tears by the end of it.

The book, I Too Had A Love Story, tells the tale of four friends who meet up after a long time and share stories from yester-years. After their reunion, everyone goes back to their old life except for Ravin, who befriends a girl on a matrimonial site thanks to his discussion with his friends. What follows next is a whirlwind romance that leaves your heart with both joy and sadness.

The best part about this book is that the author has written this book not only for the readers but also for himself. It is through his words that he is reliving the entire story of his life once again. He has captured every small conversation and every small emotion in a perfect manner.

The two protagonists in the book, Ravin and Khushi, make for a wonderful pair. While one is down-to-earth, the other is chirpy and vivacious. The chemistry between them can actually be felt by the reader and this is where the author gets maximum points. This story of pure love is very well-written.

I Too Had A Love Story is now available at all leading bookstores and is priced very reasonably. My suggestion would be to read some more detailed reviews of the book and then buy it from some online retailers as they offer the maximum discounts on books.
