Paragraph one, two and
three are a repeat from my review of Mist, Krinard's previous book. An urban fantasy based on Norse mythology,
set in
Ms. Krinard provides
one of my favorite protagonists, a butt kicking female! I enjoy seeing more books that feature
strong, intelligent, tenacious female protagonists. Mist qualifies on all counts. The setting in San
Francisco seems a bit tongue in cheek due to the infamous San Francisco acceptance
of all things different. The premise is
that only in San Francisco
could you have mythological characters moving about and receiving no undue attention from populace or
authorities.
There are tortured
characters, heroic teens, a motorcycle gang and plenty of nefarious
villains. Treachery and violent
dishonesty is brought to life in Loki's character.
This book brings more
treachery to the table as well increasing the cast of immortals/gods. Mist has a problem finding anyone she can
trust. She battles with her hands tied
behind her back as she is kept ignorant of many facts by friend and foe both.
I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
