Welcome to New Orleans- home of Mardi Gras, jazz music and voodoo. Eighth grader Melanie Belaforte is home for Spring break and itching for excitement. Late one night she discovers a hidden chamber and a secret journal in her deceased Aunt Florence’s bedroom. The diary contains the writings of a mad woman, along with vague clues to the whereabouts of a ruby necklace that once belonged to Cleopatra.
The ruby bestows upon the wearer the power to hear other people’s thoughts- even the thoughts of the dead! And so the hunt begins. Melanie, her best friend Sybil, and a haunting specter unravel clues that take them from crumbling graveyards, to the busy streets of the French Quarter, and then into murky swamps, all to find the prize. But they need to watch out, because a murderous cult is matching them step for step, and they won’t give up, ever.
Biography
So when this one showed up in the mail. It took me for a loop. The first thing I noticed was that the cover was way different than book one. Although I did love the story. I wish they would have taken the care to make the covers the same. (way it was made) As where the first book is breath taking this the second looks dull. Ok so that is my rant about the cover. As for the story this book two the Cleopatra's Legacy we find a new main character. This book although not dependent on book one (they do connect though) was very good. We get some new creatures and a great story! I really can't wait for the next volume.
