About this audiobook

Kera Watson never expected to face death behind a Los Angeles coffee shop. Not after surviving two tours lugging an M16 around the Middle East. If it wasn't for her hot Viking customer showing up too late to help, nobody would even see her die. In uncountable years of service to the Allfather Odin, Ludvig "Vig" Rundstrom has never seen anyone kick ass with quite as much style as Kera. He knows one way to save her life-but she might not like it. Signing up with the Crows will get Kera a new set of battle buddies: cackling, gossiping, squabbling, party-hearty women. With wings. So not the Marines. But Vig can't give up on someone as special as Kera. With a storm of oh-crap magic speeding straight for L.A., survival will depend on combining their strengths: Kera's discipline, Vig's loyalty...and the Crows' sheer love of battle. Boy, are they in trouble.

Ratings and reviews

What I loved about this story is I was listening along, thinking it was good, and then all of a sudden, I was completely invested in the story. I needed to know what was happening, what would happen next, who are all the players, and how do they fit together? Of course, I got to know most everyone, and our couple ends up together, but there is still more story to be told! Have to say, I loved the crows and the ravens, and the characters are wonderful. Brody was a nice touch as well. Now, off to the next book to see what is going to happen next 😊
