Summary from Goodreads:

“. . . the Sons would never just let him go—alive.”

Seth O’Keefe has broken the laws of his god. He never thought he would sacrifice his own future to protect a Daughter of Isis. But when the Sons of Set discovered Natti is the Secret Keeper, he had no choice. Now, Seth and Natti are on the run from his father, who wants nothing more than to see Seth dead. With no allies, Seth turns to the Daughters of Isis for help, hoping they would protect Natti. But when they meet the Daughters, he discovers a secret that puts both their lives in more danger. Low on options, Seth sees only one possibility for survival. He must help Natti solve an ancient puzzle and find the secret name of Ra.

Natara “Natti” Stone is having a hard time swallowing the truth. She can’t believe what she has learned in the past twenty-four hours: Seth is a Son of Set blessed with charm; she is a Daughter of Isis blessed with a sliver of Ma ‘at; the locket her grandmother gave her holds an ancient Egyptian secret linking to Osiris and Isis. That along with being tortured and brutalized by the Sons of Set, she can hardly hold herself together. Thank God for Seth’s touch! That warm, tingling sensation that drowns it all out. Yet her heart struggles to stay focused. She must quickly embrace her destiny before the secret name of Ra falls into the wrong hands.

Son of Set Playlist

As the author, I understand that I put both Seth and Natti through the wringer at times. In Son of Set alone, Seth has given up everything he’s ever known, made enemies of his friends, finds out a secret which he feels could completely destroy Natti, and discovers a prophecy he rather had stayed buried. Meanwhile, Natti suffers the after effects of Sean’s spells and the venom he injected her with, is torn from her father and home life, discovers feeling toward Seth she’s not sure she can let herself feel toward him, and winds up finding she had abilities she never even knew about. With all that, the Son of Set playlist reflects their heightened emotions throughout the novel:

I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift


Counting Stars by OneRepublic

The Reason by Hoobastank

Creep by Radiohead

Demons by Imagine Dragons

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis

Everything To Lose by Dido

Summary from Goodreads

"Her mouth parted slightly, waiting for Seth to breathe life into her own body, just like in the story. She wanted him to awaken her senses."

Their worlds collide in California's high desert.

The last thing Natara "Natti" Stone wants to do is to start anew at Setemple High School. She wished she had never left London. Yet the brutal murder of her maternal grandmother has made her life very complicated. The only clue related to her murder is an ancient, encrypted necklace Natti discovered after her grandmother's death. And if trying to adjust to American life is not enough, Natti is being stalked by a mysterious, charming high school senior, Seth O'Keefe, who is annoyingly persistent in his attempts at seduction.

Seth O'Keefe is secretly a member of the Sons of Set, an order that worships the Egyptian god of chaos. Seth's blessing from Set, his "charm," never failed, except with one person: Natti Stone. Her ability to elude him infatuates and infuriates him, and he becomes obsessed with the chase. But the closer he gets to her, the more his emotions take a dangerous turn, and he risks breaking one of the most valued covenants of his order. The punishment for which is a fate worse than death.

The adventure this unlikely couple becomes engulfed in could cost them their lives and their souls.

Excerpt

          "Natti you need to relax," Seth finally said.

          She froze in her place and looked at him. "Relax! Are you mental? My best friend was drugged!"

          Seth stood up from the long, ratty sofa, peeled apart her hands, and took them into his. "You don't know that for sure." He brushed his thumbs over her skin in soft, smooth strokes. "Just let the doctors worry about it."

          The calm, soft tingle of his touch seeped through her skin, coursing lightly over her nerves and releasing her tension. Her mind and body began to calm down, making her realize how badly every muscle had been physically shaking. Slowyl, layer upon layer of fear and stress simply vanished until she felt nothing at all. She looked up at Seth's eyes, drawn to their warmth and comfort.

          "Okay..." Natti spoke, almost breathless. "How do you do that?"

          "Do what?" Seth's voice was seductive as he leaned his forehead against hers. His scent of spice cologne, myrrh, and sandalwood consumed her senses, and his eyes captured her soul. 

          "This," she pressed. "The sensations of your touch. I've been feeling it all night and even before. Ever since we met. And don't try to lie. I know you're doing it, but how?"

          Seth smirked at her question, his eyes turning their focus to her hands. "It's nothing."

          Natti couldn't help smile as more of the tingling sensation slipper over her skin. "Oh, it's something. What is it?"

          His beautiful full lips tempted her with a smile. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

          "Try me."

          Silence fell between them while he seemed to think it over, meanwhile massaging her hands with his thumb and fingers. The pressure, the release, each movement slowly pulling her thoughts and focus onto his hands. "Touch is a magical thing, Natti," he explained. "It can comfort." He raised one hand and stroked her cheek, soft and gentle. "It can entice." His thumb moved along her jaw and applied pressure as it traveled down her neck, causing her to shiver with delight. "And it can hurt. Whatever the intentions, it brings two people together. It makes a certain...connection."
          Though there was no heaviness of a lie, she chuckled at his response. "You're right. I don't believe you. Touch is just a sense. A tool the human body uses."
          "Yes, and it's a powerful tool when used the right way." His honey voice teasing her, tempting her. "Now come sit with me and relax. Wanda will be all right."
