Claimed by Gods

Eva Chase — 2019

The gods walk among us. And they just might steal your soul... or your heart. I thought I'd survived everything life could throw at me. All I wanted was to keep my distance from the criminals I work for and get my little brother out of the hell that is our mother's house. Then I died and woke up to four stunningly hot gods telling me I'm now a valkyrie. Sly, sharp Loki. Jovial but ferocious Thor. Dreamily compassionate Baldur. Grim and secretive Hod. They all have something to teach me. And around them, my walls start to crack. But the gods didn't summon me just for kicks. Their king is missing, and they need me to find him. The first three valkyries they sent on the job never made it back. More power is awakening in me than I could ever have imagined--and the gods' enemies are more devious than even they knew. It's going to take every trick in the book for me to save myself, my brother, and these divine men who're getting under my skin in the most alluring way. I'm Aria Watson, and Valhalla ain't seen nothing yet.

I picked this book because there was promise of some steamy fantasy romance. There was less romance and steam than I expected and there was a lot more action but plot is good. This is my first book with the Norse gods and I like them as characters. The plot is very action oriented and I enjoyed it. But because the focus is on the plot so much, I feel like there is not enough time to fully get to know the characters but maybe that is something for the next books in the series. All in all, this is a pretty good and enjoyable book

An action-packed take on Norse mythology that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. A fantasy novel with hot males and a strong and sassy female heroine. As for the romance, I wouldn’t call it a reverse harem novel, although I can see the potential for it. Since it’s the first book in the series, the author is laying the groundwork for the next books, introducing the characters and building the relationships. Oh and it ends with a cliffy so let this be your warning.

Even ending on that massive cliffhanger, I won't continue this series. It just seems so dull. And I truly came to hate heroines mastering their powers in the span of a few days. It can't be that easy. I prefer to read about struggles and overcoming those instead of "I tried and it worked right away".
