Kicked out of the underworld and cursed to walk this earth for all eternity, Ace Dante finds solace in helping others avoid the wrath of the gods.

But when warrior-bitch, Queen of Cats, and Ace's ex-wife, Bastet, hires him to stop whoever is slaughtering her blessed women, Ace is caught between two of the most powerful deities to have ever existed: Isis and Osiris.

the gods

I love stories about Egypt gods..always have as a kid.. fascinating..loved the humor..so exciting to think they may walk around us mortal humans without our knowledge making us do things without our knowledge..enjoyed myself immensely

Egyptian Gods Drama in a Modern World

Must get educated first on Egyptian Gods and Mythology. Once you do this first before reading it, you'll truly get to enjoy it.

I thought it was an okay book. For a small one, it took me a while. I have read Pippa DaCosta's works and for a moment I was under the impression I missed previous books. My only disappointment was writer didn't provide the reader background information on the Gods. It was hard for me in the beginning, as it left me questioning many times "why". Hence why a short story took me a while to get into. I had to do research. Good thing for Pinterest app and Egyptian Gods family tree and info!!

I am unsure about my rating; as I still have some unanswered questions about main character. Maybe I am being harsh. Overall I did get to enjoy it (after research... and narration) and do want to read what happens next.

I purchased the audible book when I saw it was narrator Paul Woodson. Da man is in no doubt a superb narrator!! I have a list of books narrated by him I am yet to own! Great voice actor! It made the story much more exciting, and go through emotions.

Audible made it much more enjoyable!

Pretty good

What made the experience of listening to Hidden Blade the most enjoyable?

I really liked the focus on Egyptian mythology.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It was more or less your standard urban fantasy. Nothing truly shocked me, yet, I wasn't bored.

What does Paul Woodson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Probably the attitudes of certain characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

No soul is safe.

Any additional comments?

Pretty good start.

way too short!

I no sooner got really into the story when it ended. RATS!! And more rats!!!

Fantasy, action adventure!

(Soul Eater #1)
by Pippa DaCosta
Terrific and terrifying gods that haven't the slightest morals or empathy for life. Ace finds out he has a daughter that is grown and in danger. He is trying to save her, save his ex-wives followers, keep from losing his mind from darkness, keep from getting himself killed by a sadistic god, and he is suppose to kill a god that he has no chance of killing. Plus, there is a demon on the loose! The book is never dull!
Good narrator!
