Judgment by Anubis
Egyptian Shifters 2

Professional Reviews

5 HEARTS: "Marisa Chenery again removes all the boundaries to build a story of true love. The characters and dialogue in this tale will warm your hearts. Tarot cards, black cats, freak acts of fate, and true love across the realm of humans and gods all play well in making this a great read. Jinny seems to be one of those people who sees the good in everyone no matter what they may look like. Anubis has lost touch with his own heart while doing his job of judging others.  Luckily the other god and goddesses of the world keep watch over him. This is one of those books that will bring a few tears to your eyes when the happy ending comes in a very unique way."--Dee Dailey, The Romance Studio

4 ANGELS: "Anubis is my favourite Egyptian god, so I was looking forward to this book! I wasn't disappointed. Marisa Chenery has created a delicious hunk with Anubis, a god who's tormented by the decisions he has to make. Jinny is more than a match for him, both in and out of bed. Judgment By Anubis, Egyptian Shifters 2, gives the reader fascinating insights into the Egyptian beliefs about death and the afterlife as well as providing a hot, sexy read." --Maija, Fallen Angel Reviews

4 TOMBSTONES: "I would love to read about what happens next in their tale, and the supporting cast of gods is interesting, too - more of them would be good, too. A great story, though, and lots of fun!" -- Jennifer, Bitten By Books

"For Jinny, life sucks and if this is death, it might not be so bad. She has watched Anubis judging the souls who come before him, and it doesn't frighten her. It is apart of who he is, and Jinny finds herself attracted to the whole package. But she doesn't want to be dead, and she doesn't want to remain in limbo, and can only hope Anubis will let her go back to where she belongs. There is only one problem, and that is she seems to be getting weaker and weaker. That truly frightens her. Anubis realizes there is only one thing he can do, and as much as it hurts him, he can do nothing but let her go. Now the question that comnes quickly to mind is can Anubis survive without Jinny, and can Jinny be happy without Anubis?  These are some must buy short reads that are so worth the money. The mythology is on the nose, the characters rich, and the plots are divine. I know this series will remain on my keeper shelf, and I know I will read each again and again." --Rose, Romance at Heart

Excerpt

When the black receded, Jinny found she was no longer in the hospital room. She stood in the middle of a large shadowed room. Looking down at herself, she saw she still wore the jeans and long sleeved t-shirt she'd put on that morning. She shook her arms and legs, which felt to be all in one piece. She didn't feel any pain either. Jinny didn't know if she should take that as a good or bad sign.

Unsure of exactly where she was now, she looked around the room. The walls and floor appeared to be stone. On the walls, what looked to be Egyptian hieroglyphs had been painted or carved into the stone. This couldn't be right. The more she saw the more she couldn't help but think this room resembled an ancient Egyptian temple, or a tomb.

A sound drew her attention away from the walls. Spinning in the direction it had come from, Jinny froze in place. It couldn't be. This couldn't be real. This had to be something her injured brain had conjured while in its coma state. In no way could that be the Egyptian god Anubis who stood a foot away from her quietly watching. In half human/half jackal form he towered over her. His body appeared to be covered in shiny black fur. He wore a snow-white linen kilt around his hips. Dark brown eyes stared back at her.

Anubis reached out with one of his hands to her. "Come." His deep voice seemed to fill the room.

Jinny shook her head. "You're not real and I'm not dead."

He closed the distance between them and picked up her hand in his. "I'm very real." Anubis cocked his jackal head as he stared down at her. "And you are correct. You aren't dead."

She had to crane her neck to look up at him now that Anubis stood so close. At five foot four, she had to look up at most people, but he had to be at least six foot eight. "Then why am I here if I'm not dead?"

"I'm not sure, but now that you are here I still must judge you. You have one foot in the realm of the living and one here in the underworld. It will be my choice either to send you back to the living realm or let you move on."

She drew herself up straighter. "I want to go back to the realm of the living, thank you very much. I'm only thirty, I still have lots of living to do, and I'm not going to give that up without a fight."

Jinny wondered if she'd gone a little too far when Anubis released her hand and took a step back. Pissing off a god probably wouldn't win her any brownie points, but at the moment she didn't care. And then there was the question if this place actually existed outside her head.

Anubis' body began to waver and blur bringing Jinny out of her thoughts. In seconds Anubis the man stood in the half human/half jackal's place. She slowly took in his long black hair and muscular build. He still towered over her even in human form. He wore the same snow-white kilt low on his narrow hips. It made her wonder what he had under it. Dragging her gaze up to his face, she felt her heart start to pound in her chest. For the god of death, Anubis had a face women would go ga ga over. Not unaffected herself, Jinny's nipples grew taut beneath her shirt as her pussy throbbed. Feeling wetness form between her legs, she knew she was most definitely still alive.



Anubis looked down at the mortal woman who stared hungrily back up at him with her light green eyes. She intrigued him. Most souls that arrived in the underworld were intimated by him, especially seeing him in his half human/half jackal form that he used when he judged souls. But not this mortal woman. She not only told him he couldn't be real, she even went so far as to tell him he had to send her back to the living realm. And he had the feeling she would fight him if he decided otherwise.

She really was a small thing. She had to be at least a foot shorter than him. She had a slim, athletic build, curved in all the right places from what he could tell. Her looks could only be described as classically beautiful, but she didn't look to be the type of woman who flaunted it. He let his gaze skim her long dark brown hair, down her body to her feet. He could see her nipples had pebbled beneath the shirt she wore. He smiled.

"What is your name?"

"Jinny." She continued to stare at him with longing. "And you're the Egyptian god Anubis."

"Yes." His cock stirred as her gaze quickly flicked down to his kilt for a second time. He could smell her arousal mixing in the air. Much to his surprise, he felt his cock lengthen and thicken beneath his kilt. She affected him in ways no mortal had before. He found himself attracted to her. Thoughts of what it would be like to take her to his bed flashed in his head. Usually for him sex was something he only occasionally indulged in, and never with a mortal. "What should I do with you?"

Her gaze came back up to focus on his face. "Send me back?"

He shook his head. That he couldn't do just yet. He needed time to not only make the right decision, but to get to know this mortal woman who drew him to her. "No. My decision can't be taken lightly. I must have the time to think the matter over. You will stay here with me for now."

Anubis watched as Jinny looked around the sparsely furnished chamber. She then gave him a questioning look. "Here? You want me to stay here?"

He chuckled. From her tone of voice, he could tell Jinny didn't relish the idea of having to stay in this chamber. "I don't mean exactly right here. This is the chamber where I judge souls. I have my own private chamber, which I think you'll like much better."

Jinny blushed. "Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. It's just kind of dark and gloomy in here."

"Then let me take you to my chamber."

Anubis led Jinny to the back of the chamber and through a small doorway that connected the judging chamber to his personal one. He took a quick look behind him to make sure Jinny followed and found her staring at his ass. His cock jumped as the tip of her tongue came out to wet her bottom lip.

He stepped aside and allowed Jinny to walk further into the chamber ahead of him. She stopped in the middle of the chamber and slowly turned in a circle. Her gaze lingered on his large bed before she moved on. Anubis could think of a number of things he'd like to do to Jinny once he got her into that bed. And it wasn't a question of would he get her there, but when.

He knew exactly when she found his bathing pool. With a sound of pleasure, Jinny walked over to the pool and looked down at it longingly. His thoughts shifted direction. The pool would do just as well as the bed.
