WINGING IT

Kera Watson never expected to face death behind a Los Angeles coffee shop. Not after surviving two tours lugging an M16 around the Middle East. If it wasn’t for her hot Viking customer showing up too late to help, nobody would even see her die.

In uncountable years of service to the Allfather Odin, Ludvig “Vig” Rundstrom has never seen anyone kick ass with quite as much style as Kera. He knows one way to save her life—but she might not like it. Signing up with the Crows will get Kera a new set of battle buddies: cackling, gossiping, squabbling, party-hearty women. With wings. So not the Marines.

But Vig can’t give up on someone as special as Kera. With a storm of oh-crap magic speeding straight for L.A., survival will depend on combining their strengths: Kera’s discipline, Vig’s loyalty… and the Crows’ sheer love of battle. Boy, are they in trouble.

*NO Spoilers!

I am a HUGE Shelly Laurenston fan! Her Shifters series is one of my favorite PNR series ever and her Dragon Kin series written by her as G.A. Aiken, is amazing!

When I found out she was starting a new series, I freaked out and when I saw it available and got it on Netgalley, it made my month!

The Unleashing is a great start and introduction to a brand new world and series. I loved the mythology Laurenston has inserted into this fantastic world. Such richness of characters and creatures, I cannot wait to read more.

Kera and Vig are such an awesome couple! I loved their romance from beginning to end. I really loved how awesome Kera is right from the beginning and the stalkerish behavior Vig shows in the beginning is just this side of creepy

The one minor thing that bothered me was how many POVs we get in The Unleashing. It was fun, but it was maybe one too many.

Despite that, The Unleashing is a superb start to a series by one of my fave authors!
