YA
Reawakened series.
In this trilogy-ender, Lily wakes up on her grandmother's farm, her Afterlife adventures all but forgotten. With Dr. Hassan's help, Lily remembers she must fulfill her destiny of becoming the goddess Wasret and defeating the wicked Seth. With multiple consciousnesses inhabiting Lily's body (she's now also part-lion, part-fairy), uninitiated readers may become confused; those familiar with the series should appreciate the twists and turns.

YA
Reawakened series.
After their tragic separation, Egyptian prince Amon (Reawakened) exiles himself to the netherworld, while modern-day seventeen-year-old Lily seeks haven for her broken heart at her grandmother's farm. Having nightmares of Amon's pain, Lily merges with lioness Tia and embarks on a dangerous quest to find Amon. Houck intriguingly twines modern life and Egyptian mythology, but Lily/Tia's jumbled, unreliable perspective may confuse readers.
