Recommended Reads!
It’s WELL past the time for me to recommend some good books again!
I just finished reading Immortal Warrior and Immortal Outlaw by Lisa Hendrix and, let me say, they are amazing. The concept is fantastic: A crew of cursed, immortal vikings who turn into various animals. They have no control over it, and they aren’t really conscious of their human selves when they’re in animal form. Some of them change at night, some during the day.
The first book Immortal Warrior, is about Ivar, the falcon and how he comes to inherit a castle…and a wife. And how he tries to keep his secret hidden, even though he has to leave the castle from dawn to dusk every day. A great book, and the ending had me so nervous I was ready to put my kindle in the freezer. (Why yes, I am a big fan of Friends)
In the second book, Immortal Outlaw, we meet Steinarr, who I heart, seriously I do. He meets ‘Marian’ and her ‘cousin’ ‘Robin’ on the road and saves them from bandits…and gains a couple of traveling companions he’d rather get rid of. First off, he has the very inconvenient hots for Marian, and second…well, he turned into a lion at night and he’d rather not eat them. It’s such a great story and it weaves in elements of Robin Hood, which I thought was really fun.
These are fun, witty, original books, and I loved the mixed paranormal/historical/suspense elements.
Happy reading everyone!
