I was pretty excited to read The Golden Bulls by Weston Kincaide. I had read A Life of Death and loved it. So when the author approached me to review The Golden Bulls, I jumped at the chance. Let’s say that The Golden Bulls more than lived up to my expectations. In my reading experience sophomore books in a series lack in various ways. Which is why I dread reading them. The Golden Bulls is one of those rare books that keep up the momentum from the first book.

The Golden Bulls picks up 15 years after the events of A Life of Death. Alex is now a homicide detective and uses his powers to help solve his cases. There is one case that he has been unable to crack. One murderer who he hasn’t been able to see in when he flashes back to the victims’ murders. It is at that point where the book flashes back to Alex and his family picking up the fragments of their lives. That is when the first murder, a friend of Alex’s friend Jesse, happens. The book then goes back and forth between the past and the present until both storylines are merged.

Alex wasn’t as tortured as he was in A Life of Death. He still had to deal with the flashbacks and was very careful about what he touched. The visions still took a lot out of him. I was actually very surprised when he met with the University professors. I was also surprised when he helped them with two bodies that they had found in Egypt. I didn’t think that his powers would work that far back. His reveal of the killer was very surprising. The care that it took to keep it from him was undone in one touch of a ring.

The author chose to use ancient Egypt and their religious practices. I have read books in the past where the focus has been on the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. But I have never read a book where the religions that sprang up around them were featured. Combine that with Alex’s gift that was 100% paranormal and it made for an exciting read.

The book ended with a bang. I was not expecting the killer to be who it was. I also was not expecting who the accomplice was. To be blunt, I was floored by that revelation. I was also floored by Jamie’s revelation. It makes me wonder what is to come in book 3 and how Jamie will play into that.

The Golden Bulls was a fantastic read. It kept me glued to the pages with a great plotline and memorable characters. I would reread and recommend it.

This is a sequel to A Life of Death. I have to say that I was hooked on this book just like I was hooked on the first book in this series. 
I could see imagine everything that was going on and all the characters. 

You don't really have to read the first one to be able to follow this book but I think you should read the first book just because this series is fantastic.
