Valkyrie
Victoria Storm has werewolf hunters hell bent on revenge trying to kill her.
She can barely keep her own downtrodden pack alive, let alone respond to the
pleas of a murdered mother. Can she set
aside her differences and work with her sworn enemy to save a little boy from a
Christmas nightmare?
I received a free copy of this short story in return for an
unbiased review.
This book has a great hook from the first page, a bit creepy
with a smatter of world building in the mix. I did feel in the next few that
various mythology and supernatural terms were thrown at me a bit fast while I
was still trying to get my feet with the relationship between the characters.
This smoothes out as the book progresses however and I got a comfortable feel
for the supernatural involved.
I felt the protagonist was relatable, despite reeling from
recent loss and the emotions that come with it she keeps away from emo and
looks after her pack as well as herself. It was refreshing to see a character
that didn't hit one extreme or the other but was able to move between them. I
also liked her reactions to different ages within the pack, both having to act
as a mum and a little sister.
In places the writing quality dipped, particularly during
fighting, with redundant words or phrases. The rest of the time the quality was
high and made me want to keep reading.
A nice quick read, I look forward to reading more.
