River of Shadows by Karina Halle
3.0

A dark fantasy story with unique and macabre mythology! Intriguing and steamy.

What I liked:
•Finnish mythology - new to me and very intriguing
•Introduction of the God of Death
•Tension between Hanna and Death

What I didn’t:
•The first half of the book was very heavy world-building and adventuring - took awhile for me to get invested
•Some odd pop culture references that felt out of place

Warning: This one ends on a serious cliffhanger.
