Julie’s Review: Well, I’m hooked. The first book intrigued me with the Norse mythology and made me want to know what happens next. This book kept up the intrigue, saved its secrets until the end, and let’s not forget to mention hot guy yummyness. Raine is becoming quite the heroine and we are finding out […]
