Supernatural Chronicles: The Asgardians

'The Asgardians' was just the action-packed story I was hoping for. Despite being a novella, it was full of all the good things I like in a story: action and suspense, a couple in love, and sweet friendship. Having already loved Inga and Gunnar from Bende's Elsker series, taking this ride along with them made me fall for them even more. Seriously, I love Inga and Gunnar! Here their vacation is interrupted by an Asgardian emergency, throwing them, along with Henrik and Brynn, into a non-stop quest of mystery solving and fierce action. With dark forces out to stop them, these four have to stick together or the consequences will be dire. I loved this journey and my only complaint is that I want another and another. If this is your first ST Bende book, you are getting just a glimpse at the fantastic Norse world she's created in her books. And if you are already a fan, then you will love this little gem and some extra time with Inga, Gunnar, and friends.

I was lucky to receive this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Another great story by S.T. Bende – Supernatural Chronicles: “The Asgardians” is about Inga and her friends as they are given a task by Norns in order to save their immortality and to save the Midgard (Earth) from falling. From the very beginning this book sucked me in with an exciting ride of action, adventure, revenge, deep love, and loyalty. I loved reading about Inga and Gunner (who is definitely more funner) in this story. They have such an amazing relationship and chemistry. It’s great how they have each other’s backs and the love they share runs deep. Inga is a strong, brave woman and a great role model. Gunner is swoon worthy, supportive and protective of those he loves. One of the traits Gunner has that you don’t always see in books is his ability to support Inga and help her accomplish whatever task she needs to do even if it puts her in danger. He doesn’t hold her back even though he wants her to be protected. Brynn and Henrik are some of my favorite supporting characters. I am such a huge fan of those two. Brynn and Henrik added a lot to this story as they work together with Inga and Gunner. The Asgardians is a thrilling and quick read and definitely a story you don’t want to miss.

I was given an ARC of The Asgardians for an honest review. If you are a fan of S.t. Bend, you know that she is very good at the whole Norse God thing. She knows how to create a sexy God and a woman well matched and worthy of his love. The Asgardians goes along with S.t.'s other stories as a Novella or as a stand alone in the Supernatural Chronicles. Here, we have the Norse crew of Inga, Gunnar, Brynn and Henrick, who have to solve a riddle left by the Norns to save Midgard from being taken over by darkness. All they have to do is recover a relic and take it to the Saint Louis Cemetery in New Orleans. Easy right? Not when said relic can unleash powerful evil. I loved this short story, especially since I am a die hard Gunnar fan. His cheeky humor and love for his wife Inga melts my heart every single time. S.t. has a way of doing that with her characters.
