simonlorden 's review for:
I Do Not Trust You
by Melinda Metz, Laura J. Burns
I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I was offered a copy of this book for review, and I'm glad I got around to reading it. I love stories based on mythologies, and I have a thing for scavenger hunt-type stories around the world. I Do Not Trust You is about two groups worshipping Egyptian gods fighting each other for their own god, but it also addresses other cultures, other gods, and what makes something sacred.
I admit that the beginning was a little tough - being introduced to M, who has a unique name, goes by her initial, and knows history even better than her teacher made me roll my eyes super hard, but in the end, both she and Ash grew on me.
This book also had several plot twists that I appreciated - some I figured out in advance, some I didn't, but I liked how they complicated the story and the relationships between the characters. (Mike is the best!)
I can't really speak for the accuracy of all the historical facts and mythological stories, but this book is either very well-researched or very imaginative, because the stories work well with the puzzle.
In short, this is a fun adventure that I recommend if you like mythological scavenger hunts.
