Dark Faerie Tales

I Do Not Trust You by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz You should’ve seen Miss Memphis here get into it with Nick last period,” Brianna said, squeezing in between M and Inez at their usual spot in the cafeteria. He’s lucky he’s hot,” their friend Ayana commented, waving her spork in Nick’s direction. He reached for M’s collapsible bo staff, tucked in the inside pocket of her jacket like always.

Ashwin Sood is a little too posh for her tastes, a member of an ancient cult (which she’s pretty sure counts for more than one strike against him), and has just informed Memphis that her father who she thought was dead isn’t and needs her help. Memphis, otherwise known as M, was told that her father died in a plane crash so when a stranger, Ash, shows up telling her that her father is not dead but a hostage for a radical group that worships the Egyptian god Set. Ash needs M to give him a map that will lead him to the pieces of Set which will in turn bring set back to life to wreak havoc upon the world. The story was told in the third person so at least she wasn’t referring to herself as M but sometimes it felt that way.

Basically, Liv wakes up in Morgan’s body but with Liv’s memories and she has no idea all the secrets that her friend Morgan has been hiding from her. As I read the novel, I did have some minor issues but I put most of it to the side to read the story but after it was over I did have some other issues about the story that I didn’t really think about at the time of reading. Or I’ve been stopped, I don’t know. Maybe I need to solve Morgan’s mystery in order to understand why I got to live when she died.
