Kristia Tostenson prefers Earl Grey to Grey Goose and book clubs to nightclubs, but when she transfers from her one-stoplight town to Cardiff University in Wales she falls in love with Ull Myhr. Her new boyfriend isn’t exactly what she was expecting. He’s an honest-to-goodness Norse God — an immortal assassin fated to die at Ragnarok, the battle destined to destroy Asgard and Earth. Kristia’s crazy visions are the only thing that can save their realms. Her orderly life just got very messy.

So I really enjoyed Elsker (and even the prequel, Tor). I wasn't sure what it would be like going into it as I'm not really a Norse mythology kinda gal (or wasn't, it seems, until recently), but Elsker was quite entertaining. For one, Ull, the sexy, you know, Norse god, was a nice change from the usual. For two, I liked his fashion sense, as did Kristia. (Very up to date on things, unlike how I'd imagine Thor to be.) For another, if you're into the whole Twilight scene (or even if youI liked the integration of Norse mythology, but the execution fell flat of the potential for me. I could not stop rolling my eyes at the insta-love. The MC was a classic stereotypical Mary-Sue character and had a too-perfect-to-be-a-real-person love interest. The "I just met this person but I am so in love with them that I want to throw away the rest of my life and sacrifice everything" thing made me want to gag and laugh at the same time. So many cliches that I lost count. To be honest, I
Um, yeah, well...huh. This was sorta like a Norse inspired Twilight with extra sugar on top, I have to agree with some of the other reviewers there. It was sooo slow and too ooey-gooey sugary-sweet at times. Lots of good ideas and plot-lines, but the execution could have been tighter and waaay more realistic. I'm still left with questions about the man-elf that could be intriguing to resolve, and I would like to see them win, but I wonder--does the writing get better in the subsequent books? I
Hei, Hei Ull. Nice to meet ya!Sigh - Ull, the Norse God of Winter, is a true hero - in every sense. Not only is he a warrior, but he is also a gentleman. I mean, who can resist a man who insists on opening your car door, makes waffles for breakfast and - oh, by the way - plans on saving Earth from destruction.What a lovely mix of mythology with our modern world. Not knowing much about Norse mythology was not a problem. The stories I need to know are interweaved so well, it makes me feel like I
First of all I love the cover of this book, I mean look at Ull there, he just oozes bad ass Norse God does he not, I can feel my self turning in to a puddle with that piercing icy glare *fans herself* , ok sorry losing it there, Kristia is so gorgeous too, when I think of a Scandinavian woman, she is pretty much what I picture.So following on from my review the other day of Tur the prequel novella to this series which I really loved does Elsker live up to its awesomeness?Kristia is an American,
I'm reading cross-country through everything paranormal, vampires mostly, and enjoy it alot; so much that I actually forget that Norse mythology is my favorite. They are all so kick-ass and somewhat brute, and all those different realms, their mystic beasts and Ragnarok! I just love it, and I think the whole defying destiny thing works the best for them. Thus, Ull and Kristia were right up my alley!Ull really had that old world charme working for him, totally unhinging my brute comment. I was
I first heard of Elsker by S.T. Bende when one of my fellow Aussie Owned and Read girls was signed by Entranced Publishing. I must admit it wasnt a high priority on my TBR, but after Aussie Owned and Read became an advocate for Ull in the NA Crush Tourney, I thought I better check it out.Elsker is a little different to anything Ive read in the past. I love books that are centred on mythology, which is why Im a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series, but Ive never read anything containing Norse
