I hope you're ready to get back into the crazy shenanigans
because Shelly
Laurenston once again rocks the house with her latest
installment in the Call
of Crows series! If you're new to this series, then you're
in for a fun surprise.
With plenty of jokes and crazy antics, THE UNDOING will no
doubt have you
smiling from ear to ear by the time you're done with it.
Jace Berisha is our heroine and well, she's quite the fierce
one at that.
Bubbling with personality, she's the type of character to
attack first and ask
questions later. It allows her to fit in with her sisters
well. As a Crow, Jace is
one feisty, fearless woman who won't allow anyone to stand
in the way of
what she wants. But when an ancient goddess threatens to end
the world,
Jace and the rest of the Crows must join forces with their
long-time enemy,
the Protectors. And let me just say, it's not going to be
pretty.
One thing to note is that the women of this series don't
ever submit to a
man. In fact, you'll find that they'll run away from them or
fight with them or
simply stone-wall them until they give up and leave. All
this is part of their
charm but I will admit that it can hinder the romance a
little bit. That being
said, although this is a Paranormal Romance series, the
jokes take priority so
if you are looking for an epic, emotional romance, this may
not be for you.
But if you're looking for a good time with something more
upbeat and
hysterical, Shelly Laurenston has you covered.
What I like about this series is that Laurenston doesn't
take herself too
seriously. It can be refreshing when the genre is so focused
on the intense
alpha. Here, we see that fierceness embodied in the heroines
but Laurenston
takes a much lighter approach, making it a gem in the genre.
I also really
love the fact that it's set in LA, a place that is known for
its brightness and
upbeat nature. I think it acts as a perfect backdrop to this
series.
No one would ever accuse Jace Berisha of having an easy
life--considering her husband…you know…killed her. But that
was then! Now she fights for mighty Viking gods with the
spectacular and vicious Crows.
But things are turning very bad, very quickly because a
vengeful, ancient goddess has come into the world with just
one thing on her mind--ending it. And the only way they can
hope to stop her is if the Crows join forces with their
one-time enemies, the Protectors. A Viking Clan created to
do nothing but kill every Crow they see.
Thankfully,
Protector Ski Eriksen is a peace loving kind of guy. Because
the woman he is desperately trying to get close to is the
beautiful and not-very-chatty Jace. Battling Nordic clans?
Unkillable goddesses? Jace's mean-spirited dog? None of
these things would ever get in the way of a true Viking!
