Review of Goddess by Ednah Walters

Reviewed by The Magic of Books Admin Char Webster

I need to fangirl here. Once again, Ednah Walters weaved a thrilling and captivating tale that was impossible to put down.

Goddess is the tenth book in the Runes Series set in Norse mythology. Usually, I’m not a fan of long series, but I will be crushed when this series is finished. I love each and every book and I want more!

The entire series, including Eirik’s trilogy of companion books, flow together extremely well and provide a detailed story that is completely interconnected.

Goddess picks up at the end of Eirik’s third book, Gods, and just after Witches, Runes Series book 6. Both Gods and Witches are on the same timeline.

This book continues the adventures of Cora and Echo and their group of Druids and Grimnirs.   

Cora Jemison is a strong, beautiful, feisty, and loving girl from Oregon who has had her world turned upside-down by immortals. Instead of falling apart, Cora transformed herself into a confident medium, who allows souls to possess her to help them find closure. Her life was just settling into a comfortable pattern, when she decides to tell her parents the truth about seeing souls and that her fiancée is a reaper. Sparks fly, tempers rage, and Cora begins an adventure she never expected.

Echo is one smoking hot reaper, with sexy hair, a flair for the dramatic and a soul-mate kind of love for Cora. He had been alone for most of his very long life, fighting with everyone and reaping souls, until Cora came into his life. He is over-protective of Cora and will battle anyone in the nine realms to keep her safe. He also drives her crazy sometimes.

In Goddess, Cora’s world starts to crumble, threatening to destroy the most important thing in her life: her relationship with Echo. Cora traverses lies, misconceptions and hidden truths to discover her destiny.

Goddess 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.

This book was awesome from start to finish. I didn’t want it to end. Much like all of Ednah’s book. She leaves me wanting MORE. I am looking forward the next Runes book. This book and series shouldn’t be missed.
