So, we have something special for you! Yep, we have a secret. But not just any secret... nope, we have TORIN'S SECRET! Oh yea, he's got a whopper of a secret, and he's decided to trust Living Fictitiously, and all our fabulous followers with it. So, check it out... but shhhhhh, remember it's a secret!
Okay, I know a secret stops being a secret once you tell
someone, but this one will eventually come out, so I say why not it tell now.
It’s not like the people involved have time to read blogs.
Before I start, let me explain. Valkyries work in pairs
or groups of two. ”Why?”, you may ask. We split the
souls. Half go to Valhalla and the other half goes to Falkvang. Grimnirs, or
grim reapers, travel in packs and all their souls head straight to Hel’s Hall.
They are competitive. They are mean. They are douchebags. They get off on steals. When I say steals, I
mean swooping in and nabbing our souls.
One in particular is a general pain in my ass. Echo,
Hel’s number one reaper. Echo and his group of miscreants hold the best record
on steals. They have never stolen one of mine, but they came close once. I
vowed I’d snap his neck if he ever tries it again.
To cut the story short, he pulled a fast one on me. I was
to reap a soul a few months ago, a soul so important to the gods I couldn’t
even tell Andris about it. The soul was Echo’s to reap. When I arrived at the
hospital, he was already there, waiting, playing one of his damn instruments.
He does pretentious things like that. He knew why I was there. I could see it
in his eyes.
I offered Echo everything, to help him reap a few hundred
souls for him and personally escort them to Hel’s Hall. Anyone who knows me is
aware I hate going to Hel. But Echo said no. I offered to round up runaway
souls, ghosts as you humans call them. He laughed. I knew then he wanted
something. When he said I owed him a soul, I thought he was bullshitting. No
Valkyrie has ever willingly looked the other way while a Grim takes off with a
soul slated for Valhalla or Falkvang.
I had no choice but to agree.
So there you have it. My secret. I owe a Grimnir a soul.
No Valkyrie has ever done that. Worse, once a soul ends up in Hel, you can’t
get it back. If anyone finds out, I’d get a one way ticket to Hel. I’m talking
about being permanently stationed there as a guard. No more reaping. No more
coming to earth. No more seeing the girl I love. I have a feeling Echo is going
to make me sweat before he collects. But you know what? The soul I wanted was worth
it.
BLURB
Nothing
can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…
Raine
finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight
out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for him are strong. Torin is
crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a
mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his memories erased by Norns—Norse
destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.
She will
make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over
again.
But she
quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when dealing with deities and
supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear
her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and
everyone she loves.
Review:
Oh Ednah, you never let me down woman! I love it!
I completely fell for Torin St. James in Runes,
book 1, and I only fell harder for him in IMMORTALS.
This book digs even deeper into the mythology aspect of this story, and we get
more of Eriik! Which I loved, because well, Eriik is a great character.
I really enjoyed this follow up because Raine
really gets to spread her wings. She goes after what she wants. She stands up
and takes it like a man so to speak. Torin doesn’t remember her, and her
efforts to jog his memory aren’t so successful, but Raine is one determined
little thing. I love her spunk and drive. Even when you think she’s giving up,
she gets a little jolt and goes right back to attacking the issue. And this
time, the issue isn’t really Torin related. She’s so dedicated to her friends
and family that it’s pretty inspiring, and when it comes to protecting those
she holds dear, she won’t stop fighting. I can’t wait to find out what is in
store next for this group of mythological entities.
