Ancient gods. Mother Earth. And the greatest power of all.
Long ago, man was ruled by superstition, worshiping the Gods of Land, Sea, and Air. It was comfort and security. But modern man has evolved, relegating the gods to myth and legend. They’re not real.
Or are they?
Being a god isn’t easy. Loki should know. Play one harmless prank on the All Father and you’re branded for eternity. Add in arrogant pantheons and a secret only but a few know, then its little wonder he’s lived the majority of his long life among the humans. And romantic entanglements? Uh, no.
There’s a saying about gift horses. A shame that didn’t pertain to Creed Donahue’s latest assignment. At least he wasn’t freezing his balls like the last one. Then again, meeting Loki, the Loki, has him thinking more about his sanity than any shit assignment.
The Sleepers must never be free.
Fate has a way of balancing the scales. Whether it’s justice, vengeance, or love, no one is exempt. Not even the gods. Because change is coming. For Creed and Loki, their epic tale of battle, love and loss, is just the beginning.
REVIEW:
I love mythology so much that this book was really perfect for me. Though the narrator is the Norse god, Loki, the book quickly shifts into a third person past account of Loki’s story. The story revolves around a plot to uncover one of the gods who’s been buried due to being too dangerous to be on earth. Someone has been dropping clues to archaeologists and when a team finally goes out to do the dig, Loki and some other gods from various pantheons get together to formulate a plan to stop them. Though they formulate a plan, when Loki goes out to observe the archaeologists, he falls for a big, handsome man named Creed. Since Creed is special and is able to see him and the other gods which forces the gods, they are forced to revise their plan. As the story unfolds Loki and Creed fall in love and realize they cannot live without one another.
I admit that I didn’t know exactly what to expect from this book since the title seemed a little generic. However, I have to say that I was quite pleased with it overall. In the beginning the large cast of characters was a bit confusing, but after the love interest was introduced everything came into place. Additionally, the main plot seemed to pause in the middle as the relationship between Creed and Loki unfolded. Since there were so many pantheons represented, I liked that the author included little myth reminders which clarified the god’s significance. Though I loved the mythology aspect, one of the great things about this book was the sweetness of Loki and Creed’s relationship. I really loved Loki’s character, and I had tears in my eyes on several occasions. I recommend this book to anyone who loves myth-based M/M Romance, and M/M Fantasy.
