About the Book:
Valkyries have one great responsibility: to return immortals to the afterlife by slaying them. As a Valkyrie, Malin has always known that the balance of the world rests on her ability to carry out orders. But when Malin discovers that her mother spared the life of an immortal who was destined to die, her world is thrown into chaos.
Malin not only wrestles with the knowledge that her mother might not be who she thought—she’s also thrust into the path of a gorgeous blue eyed guy named Asher who needs her help slaying the rogue immortal who destroyed his family. The balance of the world is at stake. And, as Asher competes with Malin’s ex for her love and loyalty, so is her heart.

Noteworthy experiences while reading this book: I was so excited to be able to have a reason to read this a second time around. And when we were chosen for the tour for book two that dream came true! This book is by far one of the best fantasy books.

With this orginazation I keep wondering if its really evil and we just don't know it yet. The story however does ask this question but little comes of it. So I hope that this gets mentioned in book two. The characters in this one were very good. I loved everyone even the little cat creature that she has. (I would love a stuffed animal like REALLY I NEED ONE!!) It almost felt like this book was in multi POVs even though it wasn't.
If you are looking for a fantasy set in the real world where creatures marry humans and we work along side them then this is the book for you. Danger lurks around each corner and the world as we know it might end. This book was well paced and has one killer cliffhanger.
