FIVE STARS * * * * *

Awesome book! Once again Ednah Walters weaved an action-packed and intriguing tale that was impossible to put down. Gods is the third and last book in the companion series set in Norse mythology. It’s part of the Runes Universe and offers incredible insight into numerous scenes in the other books.

This series can be read without reading the rest of the Runes books, but the reader would be missing out on a truly awesome series. The entire series, including the companion books flow together extremely well and provide a detailed story that is completely interconnected.

Heroes has the same timeline as Witches. It’s cool to see things explained in Gods that I wondered about in Witches.

Gods wraps up the adventures of Eirik, a Norse God who is destined to rule the nine realms after Ragnarok. Eirik is the grandson of Odin, the ruler of the nine realms, and is the son of Baulder, God of Light and Hel, ruler of Helheim. After the events of Heroes, the second book in the companion series, Eirik is determined to put his family back together, fight for the love of his life, Celestia, and beat the interfering Norns who destroyed his family. He is also faced with protecting his friends and figure out a few mysteries.

Celestia, a witch from Louisiana, has sacrificed everything to help Eirik, and is now faced with a new set of challenges of her own. She must discover a whole new life with her gorgeous Norse God and figure out what is going on before it’s too late.

Eirik and Celestia have TONS of chemistry throughout the book that kept things interesting. It is awesome to see how they interact and banter. They are the perfect balance for each other.

Gods is full of adventure and suspense that draws the reader into the story to feel everything the characters are experiencing. The characters in this series are incredible and so very well developed. They each have very distinct and unique personalities that make you want to be friends with them.

I LOVE Hel. She is so awesome and I like how she has grown as a character and a mother. It was awesome to see her softer and playful side. I loved her relationship with Celestia.

This book was awesome from beginning to end and I HATE that the companion series is now over. I need more from these characters and I’m so sad that they will not have another book. I am looking forward to see them in the next Runes book. This book and series shouldn’t be missed.
