When a teenager uses a spell he finds on the internet to try and get Viking spirits to give him strength, he gets more than he bargained for. Not only do the Viking spirits have flesh, but the Newfoundland native spirits also rise up as skin and bone spirits. Now it is up to Rachel to use the little power she has to put them all to rest again.This isn't your typical paranormal romance story. Rachel isn't a super powered warrior who does battle with spirits. The guy she likes is definitely unavailable, as in he has a steady girlfriend already. But what you do get is well developed characters and an awesome setting.Set in rural Newfoundland, the story doesn't have that big city feel of most paranormal series. The people know each other and help when needed. That can only happen in small towns where people have a chance to get to know their neighbors, even if they don't necessarily get along.I enjoyed the "slower" pace of the setting. It helps to focus attention on the characters. I would read more in this series.
