River of Shadows
by Karina Halle
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
River of Shadows is very great start to the Underworld Gods series. Before I started this book I was hoping for it to be a stand-alone, but after finishing it I am extremely excited that we will get more books. I am a huge fan of fantasy romance novels and it being based on Finnish mythology is the icing on the cake. The story was fast-paced which I loved, because there was no moment that left me bored. I was invested in the story an was excited to see how everything would unfold. The main character Hannah has a great personality and I clicked with her right away.
“I don’t even have to ask. You just give it to me, begging for me to take you anyway that I can. You want to be consumed, little bird. You want your feathers plucked, your wings clipped.”
The mystery around Tuoni, the God of Death was phenomenal, I was so curious and obsessed with him. The chemistry between the main characters was super hot. I couldn't get enough of their interaction. This book had a great balance between romance, fantasy, action, humor, and eroticism. The writing was easy to read and had a great flow. I especially loved the world Karina has created for this series. The ending of River of Shadows has me super excited for the next book, so I can't wait for Crown of Crimson to release this spring!
