Waiting on Wednesday | The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights an upcoming book release that I'm looking forward to. This week I'm sharing with you the first book in the Call of Crows series, The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston. This book is set to be released on March 31st, 2015 by Kensington. 


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.

***

Why am I looking forward to reading The Unleashing? I've read some of Shelly Laurenston's books and loved them, and The Unleashing is different from her other books. And I love stories that have Norse mythology, so I think that this could be a really interesting addition to her collection of stories. Plus, the Crows sounds like they could be hilarious. 


You can preorder The Unleashing for $9.99 on Amazon!
