Publisher's summary

In the middle of America, Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma's house. She's being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away, Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover and with no idea what he's done wrong - this time, anyway. But he does know that Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something that he's forgotten....

In this urban fantasy tale that is equal parts Dresden Files and American Gods, a very nice Midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic-sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he's forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by earthly gadgets, earthly pleasures, or three-day benders, they just might pull it off.

Well researched, fun romp through Norse mythology

If you like Norse mythology, you're going to enjoy this well-researched story. The plot is fun and interesting, and I feel like I've gotten to enjoy the characters all the more because I can tell Gockel has done a lot of studying on the sagas. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Wolves is the first of six awesome books.

I could not put this book down. It has an exciting mix of Norse myths and life in 21st century Chicago. Transitions are deft, smooth, and thematically related. In this first of six books, we get to know the protagonists, Amy and Loki. Their lives and worlds intersect in their separate and joint adventures. Get the kindle ebook first, and receive a large discount on the audio. Read or listen to the books in order. I am listening to the set for the second time, already catching some foreshadowing I missed the first time. The written book is helpful to check stories and sequence.

Interesting concept, okay execution

The first thing that struck me was how much the narrator sounded like Siri. Once I got past that I actually enjoyed the story. Interesting twist on classic Norse myths and even modern retellings of those myths.

Clumsy

This is a great idea for a story. The story is decent.
The performance is ok.
The third person, present tense is clumsy and keeps the reader at a distance instead of drawing them in to the story.

A slow start but an interesting premise

A decent read, I'll most likely get thre next. This book ends like a chapter in a larger book. The worst part though is that it is written in First person present tense which is tedious and more than a bit annoying.

bad fan fiction

I was trying to finish it so I could justify buying it and to also count it my reading challenge but I couldn't do it.

Odd but good

This was very odd but pretty funny and pretty good! I’ll definitely be reading more of this series! I loved all the hilarious banter and antics of Loki! I’m very intrigued to see where this story goes! Loved the combined fantasy and science!

I tried...

...but gave up with 2 hours still to go. Just don't care about the characters or how it ends. The naive female character accepts 'magic' and driving a car to another world of elves and then presumes, after not even a day's experience there, to judge them to be fascists (not sure she knows what it even means). Loki was mildly interesting but for someone who is supposedly 1000 years old and worried about the fate of his 2 sons who he thinks need rescuing for some unclear misdeeds. If Loki is that old, how old are his sons?
