Gather the Fortunes by Bryan Camp

Gather the Fortunes by Bryan Camp

Available Now

I was thrilled to learn there would be a sequel to The City of Lost Fortunes.   Bryan Camp has created a magical world full of mystery and intrigue and I am loving every minute of it.

Gather the Fortunes brings us back to New Orleans and back to Renaissance Raines.  After her death and resurrection, she is now a psychopomp, a guide who leads the dead through the Seven Gates of the Underworld.  Death is one of the big guarantees in life, along with taxes, that no one can get away from. Ramses St. Cyr, a seemingly normal high school student has evaded death-and more than once.  It’s up to Renai to find Ramses and get him to the Underworld where he belongs, but it won’t be easy. Thrown into a twisting plot filled with all things Big, Creepy, and Scary, Renai has to outsmart gods, survive dangerous deities, and forge an unlikely alliance to restore the balance between the living and the dead.  And what is so special about Ramses that he was able to get away with evading Death?

Once again, Bryan Camp has created a powerful and fast paced novel full of action, magic, and dark secrets.  Renai is a fabulous character-smart, strong, and thoughtful. Her journey in and out of the Underworld was fascinating and full of mythology and history-both of which I love.  Each page felt like a new adventure or obstacle was thrown at Renai and her ability to withstand it all was thrilling to read.

I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait to see what Camp has in store for us next!
