Norse themed horror/romance, with supernatural and time-travel threads.
Honestly not a bad book, but very much not not to my taste.
I almost DNF this book ... several times. I'm not exactly sure why. There were times when it grabbed me, but then I'd loose interest.
Good writing, heavy horror vibe in the first half of the book at least. In my opinion a weak, unsatisfactory ending.

It kept tantalizing me by hinting that it would be a sort of Norse ghost/horror story, and while there was a little of that; the dual love stories completely eclipsed the horror story. And I'm at a place where I just can't be bothered to care about straight people's love stories, even if one of the lovers is the son of Odin.
I finished it and if something else by Kim Wilkins finds it's way to me, I may read it as long as there's an absence of sappy love story.… (mais)
