~ My Review ~
This is an exciting
easy read following Victoria as she gets a message from the Norse Goddess Freya
to free abducted children. Interspersed throughout the storyline is her sorrow
over the memories of the tragic loss of her parents, pack and Daniel, the
hunter she loved.
I love how the
author brings the story to a spiritual fantasy feeling with conversations
between Victoria and the Goddess. Even the addition of the hunters who are lead
by Jake the father of her deceased love and who blame her for his death adds an
intriguing twist to the story with them wanting to kill her.
Let’s not forget
krampus the evil child thief. This part for me was well written and though
scary it didn’t make me want to not read that part nor give me nightmares. In
other words it was the right amount of scary to impact the reader and add to
the storyline.
But things aren’t
always as they seem and sometimes throughout the story you can see the pain in
the father and Victoria over the loss of Daniel. The hate they both feel for
each other and how they pull together to save the children.
This is a
cliffhanger and not an HEA but it is a story that pulls you in so you have to
read the next book to see what happens next. I give it 4 STARS.

~ About The Author ~
As an individual, I’m sarcastic, stubborn and blunt to a fault. I have a strange sense of humor and I like to laugh (usually at my husband or children), but also at myself. I’m not particularly extroverted, although I do enjoy time with my family and close friends a great deal.
At the moment, I’m a stay at home mom who writes in my spare time. I’ve got a B.S. from Arizona State University in Business, and I’ve worked a variety of different jobs, including as a medical device documentation specialist, a technical writer, and an auto liability adjuster.
A friend asked me once how I chose my pen name. I told her
the following: “Melissa, because when people mix up my first name, it’s the
most common goof up. Snark, because it amuses me. A) I love the word ‘snarky’
and B) I love Lewis Carroll.”
