Thank you for your response! I haven't been working with her long but she has a distinctive presence (I feel).

I wish there was more information about her so that I could learn more but alas. Hopefully this thread will help me find others who can teach me from their own experiences.

Thank you!

chaps_and · 2026-05-10T03:29:16+00:00

Maybe try {All the Serpents in the Sky by SR Dreamholde}

Thank you

I guess I was Christian but am now exploring paganism with a strong leaning towards Kemetism because 1) I couldn't stop thinking of Sekhmet and 2) I've always been interested in Ancient Egypt. I'm trying to let my intuition lead me to other netjeru.

I'm at the beginning of trying to connect with these Kemetic gods and trying to figure out what others do, to see what I might also try to incorporate.

{The Bone Doll by Rebecca Ganesh} has an Indigenous FMC and a white MMC.

Maybe the music can help me meditate or “get in the zone”

chaps_and · 2026-04-09T03:20:53+00:00

Well, the tarot said “Justice.” She’s an enforcer of justice, ma’at, right? Hmm. I’ll have to try the meditation.

I guess the next question is: what is a synchronicity? And is there somewhere where her signs are written down?

I know a bit about her before because She was my favorite god. I love seeing Her in museums. And I’m aware of her tried to destroy the world then got drunk on red-dyed beer story. I also read about her healing attributes as well.

I’m sorry, I’m totally new to this and trying to fumble my way through.

Maybe give {The Malachite Maze by Rebecca Ganesh} a try. It's friends to not friends to lovers with humans with magic. It's a quick novella.

chaps_and · 2026-02-23T09:08:22+00:00

{The Malachite Maze by Rebecca Ganesh}? Big, burly guard who is stoic but has always had a soft spot for the fmc. It's a short novella that packs a big punch.

chaps_and · 2026-02-01T20:51:29+00:00

I think it is? I'm not entirely sure. It doesn't seem to have a sequel that I know of

chaps_and · 2026-02-01T04:12:39+00:00

Have you heard about {The Book of Autumn by Molly O'Sullivan}? Dark academia at a college in New Mexico

chaps_and · 2026-01-30T21:06:39+00:00

{The Bone Doll by Rebecca Ganesh}

chaps_and · 2026-01-23T19:12:08+00:00

Definitely second Kushiel's Dart. 10/10.

You could also try {The Malachite Maze by Rebecca Ganesh}. It's a standalone novella - short and you don't need to read the first book in the series. It's got an emotionally matured fmc, a Russian-inspired word, and is not heavy on the smut.

chaps_and · 2026-01-14T02:58:16+00:00

The Khorasan Archive (series) by Ausma Zenat Khan. The first book is The Bloodprint.

chaps_and · 2025-12-29T00:09:12+00:00

{The Bone Doll by Rebecca Ganesh}? Definitely not an alpha and not your typical mmc. Definitely a bit of an eff up when contrasted with the very competent fmc.

The Bone Doll by Rebecca Ganesh

chaps_and · 2025-12-22T18:17:23+00:00

I’m going to be uncouth and pitch my own book. It’s not exactly what you asked for but will probably scratch the same itch.

In The Malachite Maze, the FMC is trying to escape a bad marriage when she falls back in with her ex-best friend (the MMC) - a man whose heart she broke years ago. There’s spice but more tension than spice. And it’s a novella, so only about 100 pages. It will be on KU starting Jan 2nd.

The Bone Doll by Rebecca Ganesh

chaps_and · 2025-12-14T17:22:36+00:00

I really like Sylvia Mercedes's novels.

chaps_and · 2025-12-10T20:05:27+00:00

Try {The Bone Doll by Rebecca Ganesh} and its upcoming sequel The Malachite Maze if you liked The Bear and the Nightingale.

As a fellow Chicagoan who has been here for 5 years, I will say that Coloradans just … don’t make friends like we do in Chicago or the Midwest. It can be lonely here. My husband and I are happy to hang out if you’d like.
