River of Shadows by Karina Halle
4.0

Sea witches, crazy Shamans, horny mermaids, mood weather, talking unicorns and a God of Death that talks dirty….I’m here for it all!

Slow moving for the first half of the book. There was so much information and so many characters with difficult names (due to the Finnish folklore) so this book took a while to get into. It was DENSE and the pacing was a bit slow. Looking back I get why we needed all of it and it added a lot of context and layers to the story. Once the pace picked up and Hanna met Death it was on! And Death takes “touch her you die” to a whole new level and I am here for it!

I really enjoyed the second half of the book. It was exciting and dark and spicy as hell. Death and Hanna have impeccable enemies-to-loves vibes with some Dom/sub action I didn’t know I needed. felt like a Voyeur in some scene because they were written so well.
