I really looked forward to enjoying another one of Dana Marie Bells' book since reading all of the Halle Puma & Shifter series several times over because they were that good.  Unfortunately, this book was a huge disappointment - I had to force myself to finish it.  Many times I stopped reading, went on to another book that I actually enjoyed and then forced myself to go back to it with the hope that it would improve to only be more disappointed.  I just could not get interested in the story or characters.The main characters, Kiran and Logan are really the Norse Gods, Loki and Baldur.  A major problem for me in the first half of the book was that I simply could not keep straight which character was which god and had what supernatural powers.  I have read Federal Tax Laws that were clearer.  While the Norse Gods concept was unique, it was also very confusing to the reader unless one was very knowledgeable about Norse mythology in the first place.  The Norse mythology was also a little too much for such a short novel because it forced the author to find a way to introduce the different Norse Gods, their different powers and relationship to each other which just led to MAJOR bewilderment.  Many times things were not clear until much later in the book when the reader was fed a little more background on the Norse mythology which then made a much prior passage make sense, somewhat, sometimes.  The story might be interesting if reread after a "cheat sheet" concerning Norse mythology is made by the reader but quite frankly I still do not think I would be any more interested in the characters or story than I was the first time around.As for the "hot sex" scenes that another reviewer mentioned - maybe explicit but that did not make them "hot".  To me, the scenes were more of a "throw in" because that's what is expected in a book that is supposed to be an erotic romance and I had long stop caring whether there was any romance between the characters.Note to Author:  Please Dana - return back to the Halle Shifter series and let this series stay in the past like Norse mythology.
