Buy for others By Cari Waites

Well done story about a young drifter looking for roots and getting ensnared in either the Egyptian purgatory or a band of violent, delusional brothers. Could go either way, really (or both).

Stockholm syndrome (the author try to pass this off as love and affection but it falls flat) 4. I still don't even Lisa Henry, writing here as Cari Waites, writes a good story. A good dark story.

However, even if you do like your books on the the grisly side, as a heads up, there is a bit of a horror element to this. And I don't mean horror ala early Buy for others I love reading Stockholm syndrome type stories, but this one didn't impress me. I'll admit the previous book I'd read from the series was a tough act to follow, at least for me, but this could have been interesting. The couple, and the premise were pretty English

Jayden Sanders is a dead man.

Jayden is trying to reach Cairns when his car dies on the highway and leaves him stranded in a caravan park in Innisfail. As the rain comes down and the crocodile infested river rises, Jayden becomes fascinated by the strange man who lives across the riverHapi. What Jayden doesnt know is that Hapi has already marked him for his own.

Hapi and his brothers, the sons of Horus, prepare the souls of the dead for their father, and each claim protection over a part of the body. When Hapi pulls Jayden from the flooded river, he claims Jaydens lungs, and his breath, as his due. But what happens when he decides he wants than that? Jayden refuses to believe it when Hapi tells him hes dead, but his only hope of getting out of Innisfail alive is by playing along with Hapis delusions. And with Horus due to arrive any day, time is running out for Jayden.
