The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston

The Unleashing (Call of Crows, #1)

by Shelly Laurenston

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.

Definite "first-book-in-a-series" syndrome. Very info dumpy, and the fact that I have zero experience with Norse mythology made it much more confusing. I kinda hated all the characters in the beginning, but most of them had grown on me by the end of the book, which felt startlingly abrupt.
