~~SYNOPSIS~~~
You don't win the heart of an immortal assassin without making a few enemies along the way. Kristia Tostenson prefers Earl Grey to Grey Goose and book clubs to nightclubs, but when she transfers from her one-stoplight town to Cardiff University in Wales she falls in love with Ull Myhr. Her new boyfriend isn't exactly what she was expecting. He's an honest to goodness Norse God - an immortal assassin fated to die at Ragnarok, the battle destined to destroy Asgard and Earth. Kristia's crazy visions are the only thing that can save their realms.
Her orderly life just got very messy.
~~~~REVIEW~~~~
Let me say that I instantly fell in love with Ull Myhr, he
is an amazing character. His heart is as broad as his shoulders, sigh. That
being said I really enjoyed this book. It was so fascinating, compelling and
such an amazing love story. I was immediately drawn into the story and had to
keep reading to know what was going to happen next. It was so full of knowledge
about Gods, their worlds, and the destiny of Ull and Kristia was so touching.
Their pull to one another was fated.
Kristia is such a wonderful girl. She’s so strong and
beautiful and I hated that she was never given the love she deserved from those
she grew up with, except for her grandmother. I was so happy when she met Ull.
Let me say though their first encounter is crazy and just unsettling because
Ull’s reaction to Kristia was kind of weird. You’ll know what I am talking
about when you read it. I relished in Kristia’s journey through the book. She
came to love herself, accept her gift, and find the one man who was meant to
love her unconditionally.
Ull, well what can I say but that I couldn’t get enough of
his sweetness. He was always so charming, reserved and wanted nothing but the
best for Kristia. He was always thinking of her best interests before his own.
When I found out who he was I was dumbfounded and the more I read the more
things began to make sense and I was happy that even though it was impossible
Ull and Kristia didn’t once let their differences keep them apart. I absolutely
adored his friends as well, Gunnar and Inga. They are true friends to him and
accepted Kristia as part of their family instantly.
You will love getting to watch Ull and Kristia’s love grow
for each other. There is also a lot of adventure in store for them I’m sure. You
will love getting to learn about where Ull is from and what his future has in
store for him. There’s also some interesting info in the book about the Gods
and Norse Mythology that I found so intriguing. So if you want to read a
beautiful story about a love that seemed impossible this is the book for you. I
give it Four Amazing Stars.
~~~~Synopsis~~~~
Inga Andersson is the envy of every girl in Asgard. On the surface she has it all -- great friends, a job as Odin’s personal fight choreographer, and a happy ever after with her realm’s hottest assassin. But when evil invades Asgard, her perfect world comes crashing down. Someone is planning to kill off the gods, and Inga’s best friend Ull is first on their list. With the Norse apocalypse a nanosecond away, Inga has to decide how she’ll spend her final moments of freedom. Because from the moment this battle begins, Inga’s happily ever after will be nothing more than a memory.
Some things are worth fighting for.
