Sinopsis
Smoke can infiltrate even the best closed-off room, just like love.
Trygve is used to being on his own. His wife rejected him when he became a draugr around the year 800, and he hasnt trusted anyone but his best friend, Thorvald, since then. He lives and works alone, and he has no intentions on changing that.
Then he meets Isaac.
Isaacs life has been rottenhe was kicked out by his parents when he was sixteen, he was kidnapped from the streets at twenty, and he spent the last eight years chained to a wall and being abused. So when a tall blond man, appears out of thin air and kills the man whos been torturing Isaac for so long, he begs for deathor to be taken away.
Trygve knows he should dump Isaac in a hospital and go back to his solitary life, but Isaac needs help, and for some reason, he seems to trust Trygve, so Trygve lets him stay with him. Neither of them expects their unlikely friendship will become more, and they take things slowly, for both their sakes.
But someone is after Isaac, and Trygve knows he will do anything to protect the first person hes loved in more than a thousand years.
Even if that means killing people hes not being paid to kill.
Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
This author may just not be for me. The book had an amazing premise but there was no execution. A traumatized captive, recovered after 8 years should have been a fascinating character but instead, this was treated an irrelevant issue with absolutely no long term issues after extraction. Isaac was pretty much completely over the whole thing in a few days. This was nonsensical.
Add the instalust then the rapid instalove wrapped up in a very basic storytelling style and I can tell that I won't be following any of the rest of this series. I had to force myself to finish this one. e-books mm-mmm-a-few-mmf-too7 s JoAnn772 28

For 150+/- pages this book felt it was taking forever.... It was so flat and boring I just could take it anymore. I even took a break in between to read something else.
I do believe the plot line had a lot of hope though, and would have been fantastic if it had some depth. A captive sex slaved end up being freed by a Draugr, Viking, hit man... That sounds pretty epic in my opinion. abuse assassins-hitmen captivity ...more1 llv2,067 11

If you dont try to apply real world morals, then this is an okay book. I d it well enough. I d both MCs. I d the mythos, but thats where the story broke down a bit for me. Nothing was fully explained. How exactly did Trygve become a draugr? What exactly is a draugr? Why can he shift into three random animals and smoke? Also, how exactly are they going to overcome Isaac being human? Yes, its partially explained but not the full mechanics of it. The author doesnt give us any full answers and that just leaves me frustrated. Overall, its okay. Could have been a lot better with more explanations.

Enjoyable, but did not live up to it's potential.
What exactly is a draugr? How does one become draugr? What are the positives and negatives to being a draugr? How about explaining a draugr powers. There is a whole world not explored here!
Characters were okay. I d them. It has to potatoes but low on meat. It's a great premise, and start.
I wanted to love this. I didn't hate it or anything, but it could be awesome.waiting-to-be-read Avril297
Surprisingly good
The author did a very good job developing her characters. Isaac is a personal favorite of mine now!
The story was plenty long enough and even though we don't know if Isaac will be able to extend his life, the ending was sweet. Hoping to get Thorvald's story next! Loveofadove29
Cool
I the idea of a draugr, it was super cool to see that type of character come to life. I always new interesting supernatural beings. The story building was cool, there were some nice twists and turns I didn't expect and that was awesome. Moomba755
