Story5 out of 5 stars 47
Bohdi Patel is keeping the revelation that he is Chaos incarnate a secret - and handling the revelation about as well as one would expect. He's in a downward spiral: losing his lease, totaling his car, and trying to keep everyone he cares about at arm's length. Veterinarian Amy Lewis is wondering what happened to the funny, flirty, curious Bohdi she knew in the land of the Norns. He's become moody and sometimes cruel. She is definitely glad that she didn't become romantically entangled with him...most of the time.

Story5 out of 5 stars 40
Loki vowed that Asgard would burn. Bohdi Patel, latest incarnation of Chaos, wants nothing to do with Loki's psychotic oath. Stranded on the icy world of Jotunheim with Amy Lewis, his friend Steve Rogers, and an unlikely band of civilians, magical beings, and elite military, Bohdi just wants to keep himself and his friends alive - but when you're Chaos incarnate, even the simplest goals are complicated. If Jotunheim doesn't kill them, Odin will. And if Odin doesn't, the secrets they harbor might.

Publisher's Summary
Loki, god of chaos, gave Amy Lewis all his memories and one request before he saved the universe: "Remember for me."
Amy knows that Loki will find her, one way or another...eventually. But as the weeks have ticked by, she's lost hope.
Called into the FBI headquarters to identify a magical artifact, Amy gets the opportunity to find Loki for herself. In doing so, she tips the scales of not one but two universes and has to choose for herself what form she wants Chaos to take.
The fate of the Nine Realms is in the balance, and this time it is in Amy's hands.

muddled review ahoy
Great pacing to narration, loved the care given to rare words and names, but wished the narrator hadn't attempted shifting for male voices. That was the only thing I would have asked Ms Barrie to change. It wasn't bad, per we, but it did tend to break the suspension. Lovely story and a mostly solid reading. Definitely worth a listen.
