Loki's Game

by Siobhan Kinkade

[Lindsey Gray]

Imagine if you will, walking into a job interview where there are only two requirements. One, single female. Two, age twenty-five to thirty-two. Lily Redway met both of the qualifications and was desperate enough to answer the ad for the mysterious job.

By chapter two, I was enraptured. Lily sweeps her would-be boss, Rowan Keir, off his feet. A surprise to Rowan, as that had not happened in his over six hundred-year life span. The chemistry was instant and sizzled off the pages.

I don’t know much of Nordic mythology, but had heard of Odin and his son, Loki, before. This story wove a beautiful tale of the tragic family who had crossed Loki centuries before. With a search for love, Rowan ultimately brought forth an ending to a game that had gone on for centuries.

Lately, I have had a hard time giving any story a five star review. If there is anything that nags at me or just a detail that just doesn’t flow well, I just can’t give it the five full stars. This novel left me without complaint. The story was solid and well written. It kept my interest at every turn. Most important to me in a stand-alone novel, the ending made me happy. I think the point of any stand-alone book is to give the reader their happy place at the end of the novel. Kinkade gave me that happy place and I am overjoyed and proud to give “Loki’s Game” five stars.
