I love the retelling of the Loki character and how his story unfolds alongside Tomasz, a witch looking to get revenge on whoever murdered his family and Loki was summoned and bound to him.
You can feel the intense pain that Tomasz is in from when he discovers his family. He also struggles with not being able to use his abilities that his family are known for and so has no confidence in himself. Meeting Loki, a character full of life and himself, brings big changes to his life as he battles to move forward with his plans, keep Loki under some sort of control and not act on the attraction he feels to the god/demon. Loki hasn't been called back to earth in over one hundred years and enjoys being back, noting the good and bad changes, but it's still under another master which he needs to get out from. Tomasz is unexpected with his kind and caring ways, Loki can't help but be drawn in deep, rather quickly, and now fights himself on what he wants more, the young witch or his freedom.
I really enjoyed the twists and turns that the story took, on occasion more intense than I was expecting. Loki's story is interesting and different to what I've read before and loved the father aspect that gets involved. My heart went straight out to Tomasz with everything he goes through in such a short space of time and also goes through a little bit of a transformation, helping to fulfill both men's promises and saving Loki. Definitely a recommended urban fantasy read and I'm excited to see what comes next.
