Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan revolves around the fact that the Egyptian gods exist. The humans are only pawns that are constantly being used by the gods so they can live on Earth. However, human magicians do not agree with the motives of the gods so they banish them into the "duat." The "duat" is a kind of spirit realm where the gods and various demons take residence when they are not on Earth. Over the years, humans forgot about their punishment to the gods and slowly, some of the evil ones begin to appear, starting with Set.

The two main characters are Carter and Sadie who are siblings but live in different parts of the world. Carter and Sadie's mom died in a mysterious accident so Sadie was sent to live a normal life with her grandparents, while Carter travels the world with his father who is an archeologist. However, on the one day Carter sees his sister Sadie, something goes horribly wrong. The sibling’s father takes them to the museum and tries to set free Osiris, the god of the dead, however in doing so, releases four other gods as well.

Osiris and Set along with, Horus, Isis, and Set's wife are all unleashed at once each one finding a different host while Set flies away to cause mayhem. Carter and Sadie's world drastically changes as they have to run away with their long-forgotten uncle Amos whom they haven't seen for 10 years and learn how to control the gods Horus and Isis which they are hosting within them. Carter and Sadie never find a moment of peace as they run from their mansion in New York, to Egypt, all the way to Paris, teleporting to Washington D.C., only to have to drive all the way to Arizona.
