Mist

Mist Series, Book 1

By: Susan Krinard

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Mist lives a normal life. She has a normal job, a normal boyfriend, and a normal apartment in San Francisco. She never thinks about her past if she can help it. She survived. That's the end of it. But then a snowy winter descends upon San Francisco. In June. And in quick succession, Mist is attacked by a frost giant in a public park and runs into an elf disguised as a homeless person on the streets...and then the man Mist believed was her mortal boyfriend reveals himself to be the trickster god Loki, alive and well after all these years.

Mist's normal world is falling apart. But thankfully, Mist isn't quite so normal herself. She's a Valkyrie, and she's going to need all her skill to thwart Loki's schemes and save modern Earth from the ravages of a battle of the gods.

Critic reviews

"It's a fast paced, gripping thriller, with a few interesting twists and turns and some excellent divine conspiracy." ( Booklist)

Valkyrie

Was slow going at start, got more interesting and exciting halfway through. Enjoyed world making in Norse lore.

Not my type of story

I was all in at the beginning, and supported Mist mostly, but I wasn't that interested in most of the story.
