Jeannette paces as
she waits for Andris. She doesn’t know what to expect. Their appointment was at
two o’clock. It is five past. Sighing, she turns and screeches when she spies
Andris leaning against the wall, a smirk on his lips, arms crossed.
Andris: Did I
startle you?
JEANNETTE (hand
pressing on her chest): Where did you
come from? I mean, there’s no mirror in this room.
Andris (rolls his
eyes, pushes against the wall and walks toward her): But you have walls, sweetheart. Some of us,
powerful ones only, can create portals through walls too. So, where do you want
to do this?
JEANNETTE (points to
a chair): Sit, please.
Andris: Thank you. *sits* So what do you want to know? And please don’t ask me how old
I am or where I grew up… *rolls his eyes*
boring. Be creative, or I walk.
JEANNETTE *shakes her
head and studies him, the silver hair, brown eyes , the chiseled features: You like to tick people off.
Andris *cocks his
eyebrows*: Is that a question or a
statement?
JEANNETTE: An
observation.
Andris *shrugs*:
I’m just being me. If anyone objects to that, not my problem.
JEANNETTE: I’m
not objecting. You speak your mind. I like that. So let’s be honest here. What
kind of relationship do you have with Torin?
Andris *frowns*:
What do you mean?
JEANNETTE *winks*: What do you think I mean?
Andris *chuckles*:
You are bold for a Mortal. If you’re asking if I’m into him like I would be
into another guy… no. He’s my big brother. Sort of. Knocking heads then not
speaking to each other for a few decades doesn’t change that. He knows he can
depend on me and I know I can depend on him. End of story.
JEANNETTE: Let’s
talk about Maliina.
Andris *narrows his
eyes*: Let’s not.
JEANNETTE *sighs*:
Ingrid?
Andris: Nope.
JEANNETTE: Raine?
Andris *grins*: She’s a sweetheart. She can be stubborn, annoyingly snarky and
doesn’t appreciate my skills. Since Torin plans to keep her, *sighs* I will tolerate her.
JEANNETTE *laughs*:
I think they are planning to keep each other?
Andris *shakes his
head*: No. Torin is the one doing the keeping. She is lucky to be chosen.
JEANNETTE *shrugs*:
Let’s agree to disagree. Any new
girlfriend?
Andris (makes a
face): Nope. I’m in my no-girls phase?
JEANNETTE: What
does that mean?
Andris: You are
smart, you figure it out.
JEANNETTE: Guys?
Andris *wicked grin
crosses his lips*:
JEANNETTE *leans
forward*: Who?
Andris *rolls his
eyes*: I don’t kiss and tell.
JEANNETTE: Spoilsport. What does the name Andris mean?
Andris *cocks his
brows*: Seriously?
JEANNETTE *stares him
down*: Seriously. This is my interview, which means you answer my
questions.
Andris *chuckles*: The kitten has claws. I like that. You should
have started with that.
JEANNETTE:
Andris!
Andris *sighs*:
It means warrior.
JEANNETTE: Do you
consider what you do as war?
Andris: Nah. More
like a service to humanity. Not that they know it. Or appreciate it.
JEANNETTE: Is
your hair natural?
Andris *rolls his eyes*: Who cares?
JEANNETTE: I do.
My readers too.
Andris: You Mortals are so concerned with trivial
things. Let me summarize my stats. My silver hair is natural. My favorite food
is pizza. I love to wear black because I look good in it and it makes my hair
noticeable*grins*. I hate whiners. I
like modern technology because for once Mortals are finally getting somewhere. Favorite music group was Nirvana. Movie? Haven’t
watched anything worth mentioning. TV series? Game of Thrones.
JEANNETTE: What
do you do when not reaping?
Andris: I write
poetry. If you tell anyone, I will rune you and make you do depraved things to
yourself, tape you and post them online.
JEANNETTE *eyes
wide*: You write poetry?
Andris *gets up*: Like
I said, depraved things if you tell. We’re done.
JEANNETTE *stands
too*: One last question. Will Ednah tell your story next?
Andris *shudders*:
I hope not. The things I do are not for young minds. *bows* It’s been a pleasure. This time, may I use your mirror?
Portals through walls are like walking through a jungle. Murky.
JEANNETTE: My
bedroom is this way.
Andris: I did
tell you I was off girls, right?
JEANNETTE *laughs*:
You really think every woman wants a piece of you?
Andris:
Absolutely.
JEANNETTE: Yeah,
well, not this one. My long mirror is in the bedroom.
JEANNETTE watches as
he creates a portal, blows her a kiss then disappears.
BLURB
Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…
Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St.
James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for
him are strong. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives
by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his
memories erased by Norns—Norse destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.
She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and
fall in love with her all over again.
But she quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when
dealing with deities and supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices
that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the
destruction of everything and everyone she loves.
My Thoughts:
I thought I had a good handle on my "Hotness Radar". I mean I've read countless books with drool worthy, man candy spilling all over the pages. Yet, Ednah Walters can write a male character that can over heat my radar AND my insides in about 2.7 seconds. No surprise I was a puddle of goo while reading about Torin. Torin and Raine are picking up where Runes left off only Torin has no memory of Raine or their feelings for each other. The chemistry is still there, steamy as ever, but the added frustration has Raine torn between trying to make Torin remember her and protecting another important guy in her life. I loved watching Raine develop her powers and take charge of shaping her own destiny. The new characters and depths to the story had me burning through this book as fast as my eyes could take me. I can't wait for the next book in the series!
