River of Shadows by Karina Halle
4.0

This was based on Finnish mythology and we took a trip to the underworld in search of Hanna's father. I will say that Death was a gentleman and really wanted to tap that. This was like Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone. But with Shamans and mermaids. I really didn't know where we were going in the beginning but once Death appeared with his skull mask I was like you know that's right. He's like 7 feet tall in all black and a skull mask with a deep voice. I had no idea what to envision so I looked up the author's vision board and Jason Momoa and a new book boyfriend was unlocked. You had me at Momoa. But then the cliffhanger with the misdirection I need to read book 2 but I can't yet. Someone tell me what happens.
