No one would ever accuse Jace Berisha of having an easy life—considering her husband . . . you know . . . killed her. But that was then! Now she fights for mighty Viking gods with the spectacular and vicious Crows.

But things are turning very bad, very quickly because a vengeful, ancient goddess has come into the world with just one thing on her mind—ending it. And the only way they can hope to stop her is if the Crows join forces with their one-time enemies, the Protectors, a Viking Clan created to do nothing but kill every Crow they see.

Thankfully, Protector Ski Eriksen is a peace-loving kind of guy. Because the woman he is desperately trying to get close to is the beautiful and not-very-chatty Jace. Battling Nordic clans? Unkillable goddesses? Jace’s mean-spirited dog? None of these things would ever get in the way of a true Viking!

Why did I add The Undoing to my bookshelf?

I read and liked the first book in this series, The Unleashing, so I was excited to read the next book. Unfortunately, I ran out of time. Then more time passed and I realized that I had forgotten everything from the first book and would probably need to read that one again to really enjoy this one. I have decided that it is finally time to do just that and am currently listening to the audiobook of the first book in this series so I can tackle this book sometime in the next couple of weeks.

What are your thoughts? Have you read this book?  Would you recommend it?
