A passionate tantric romance with a taste of memories from Egypt and modern love. ~ Jo M (Reviewer) , NetGalley
This was an interesting read. I requested it on a whim. Just looking for something outside my normal reading material. It's a lot more interesting than I thought....... it was a fun time waster. ~ Erin Epps, NetGalley
This book was an enjoyable story travelling across time from ancient Egypt to present day and the story of love and obsession. I loved it because it was not your run of the mill erotic novel and fitted perfectly with the erotic text it sat along side the story of an ancient manuscript. ~ Lindsay Adams-Riley, NetGalley
I imagine that this will thrill readers who like their romance with a little mystery. The writer clearly seems to know her material regarding the mysteries of ancient Egypt, and what could more seductive than romance and nookie combined with a little ancient magic and esotericism? ~ Lynda Stevens , NetGalley
Recommended if you want to read something entertaining. ~ Anna Maria Giacomasso , NetGalley
The Alchemy of Night reads extremely well. It's intriguing, pacey, very easy to picture, all the things you want - with no waffle! ~ Tim John, screenwriter of A Street Cat Named Bob
In this orgasmic time-slip adventure, Judy Hall takes us right under-the-skin of her young heroine, as we are simultaneously drenched in the sensuous, exotic mysteries of Ancient Egypt, and dragged behind the scenes in charity shops, student flats and libraries and wild dream landscapes. What a roller coaster ride! And I shall never see my local librarians in quite the same way again! ~ Jane Skellett, Community Writer, prizewinning poet with Dorset Writers and winner of The Quill Award
Thought I’d have a quick look at the Alchemy of Night and now I’m VERY late for work... Loving it, very quirky and instantly absorbing, with the immediate knowledge of something much deeper below the surface. ~ Richard Bryson, author of Five Dark Moons
I found it riveting. It’s a subject that’s always intrigued me. I’ve never before read a book that brought together ancient history, reincarnation and Spiritualism without the need for sensationalism. ~ Helen Baggott
Engaging, modern and above all different! ~ Vicki Goldie, author Blind Justice, area manager Bournemouth Libraries
When research librarian Phillippa Grayson finds a peculiar old book about ancient Egyptian sex magic she has no idea that it will change her life forever - and in ways she could never have imagined. Soon after, in a box of thrift-store clothing, she discovers a linen robe and other mysterious objects that catapult her back to a previous lifetime as a priestess in ancient Egypt. Unwittingly, she begins a journey through time, pursued by an angry entity she calls her Dark Enigma, the spirit of a malevolent pharaoh from that former life. While trying to make sense of the strange goings-on she’s experiencing and her relationships with the people she knows in her present life, Phillippa learns that they’re all entwined in the long-ago past and have reincarnated together in the present to resolve ancient wrongs. As Judy Hall unravels the mystery of millennia-old lifetimes, curses, and magical workings, she presents information from noted occultists Pascal Beverly Randolph and Wallis Budge. She also combines her extensive knowledge of ancient Egypt, magic, gods and goddesses, shamanic journeying, and crystals to create a tantalizing tale full of twists and turns that can be read on many levels. The Alchemy of Night is not only an engaging story of intrigue and romantic suspense, it also provides a glimpse into the complex world of ancient Egyptian magic and the afterlife. ~ Skye Alexander, author of Sex Magic for Beginners and The Modern Guide to Witchcraft
A truly remarkable slide into the mysteries of ancient Egypt. ~ Mario Reading, author, The Nostrodamus Trilogy
