Nothing ever happens in Norway. But at least Ellie knows what to
expect when she visits her grandmother: a tranquil fishing village and long,
slow summer days. And maybe she'll finally get out from under the shadow of her
way-too-perfect big brother, Graham, while she's there.What Ellie doesn't anticipate is Graham's infuriating best friend, Tuck, tagging along for the trip. Nor did she imagine boys going missing amid rumors of impossible kidnappings. Least of all does she expect that something powerful and ancient will awaken in her and that strange whispers will urge Ellie to claim her place among mythological warriors. Instead of peace and quiet, suddenly there's a lot for a girl from L.A. to handle on a summer sojourn in Norway! And when Graham vanishes, it's up to Ellie—and the ever-sarcastic, if undeniably alluring, Tuck—to uncover the truth about all the disappearances and thwart the nefarious plan behind them.
The
Review
3 ½ stars
This story just drug on
and on and it felt like it didn’t get anywhere real in the end. The ending was
too obvious. The only thing that makes
the book worth reading is the banter between the two main characters Ellie and
Tuck.
Ellie is off limits to Tucker
because he is Graham’s, Ellie’s brother, best friend. That doesn’t stop the
brewing chemistry between Tucker and Ellie. Sure Tuck tries to stay hands off
but knowing there’s a chance you’re going to die in the next hour can really
change what you do with it. Tucker spent it strategizing and telling Ellie how
he really felt. But that’s at the end. The things said between Tuck and Ellie
are really funny. You would never guess that Tuck really likes Ellie because of
what they say to each other. Oh! You can guess they like each other by their
actions though.
The action didn’t really
seem brutal to me. I didn’t really connect with the storyline. So the book was
boring because of that and it caused the book to drag on.
