Review: Syfy/Mythology/Paranormal --- Oh My!

Definitely not what I was expecting.  I am a fan of Ms Walden and began my journey reading the Big Bad Wolves series.  Then the Vampire King as a spin off, so I really wasn't expecting the Syfy aspect much less the mythology thrown in at about 53% into the story!  Wow ... not my usual genre so I'm no expert of the "gods" and therefore have no idea if their roles are in line with others writings, but that is the single most important reason  I love fiction, especially from an author who's mind is so full of wonderful new things and can actually write well enough to bring me in to see what she sees.  None of it has to be true or "right" ... it just has to "work.  Heather ALWAYS makes it work, for me.Even when I seem to be getting lost in the unknown, she manages to grab my hand and bring clarity at just the right moment.  If I had to make a criticism it would be the anticipation and build up to the final scene (no spoilers here):  I would have liked it to last longer!  But, when all is said and done, it really was perfect.  Definitely not too much and certainly just enough.  Another book in this series?? It ends well so not necessary, but it is always nice to revisit Heather's characters if just to see how they're doing, so a book two would be welcomed if she decides to give us one.  If not, Victor, Victoria, Simon, and all the others will be missed.
