Lesson learned from this book: A little communication can go along way. lol-kidding.

Darkness, blood and vengeance. The story is laid out in a fascinating present and past timeline, it gave time to take a breath between the nightmare of the present. Overall my heart ached after finishing this book, so many choices made, that could have led to different futures had the brothers only had a bit of trust and not make rash decisions.

Look forward to checking out more books by this author. (

I liked Larkin's "Skyfall" series, but he really shines in this one. By his own admission this novel is dark, but despite the dark story, the author's passion for mythology really shows - it is a compelling, well-written story with interesting characters that run the gamut from greed to self-giving. It is filled with supernatural and mythological creatures that stir ancient echoes of time. This is a prequel to the Ragnarok series, and if this book is an indicator then I am certainly looking forward to it as well. (
