Excerpt Sierida, a human, lives in the year 2045 and the world has changed considerably. Supernatural beings have taken over after a warlock opened up a doorway to Álfheimr and the Álf were introduced into the world. After a short but devastating war, humankind was almost decimated while trying to protect their way of living and their world. However, the Supernatural community had grown vast and numerous and were simply too great of a force to be stopped. Humans have been herded into communities set up in either new cities or old, excisting ones and rendered subservient to a new world order. Sierida is a Runner for an Enforcer team in the city of Eathyrst. She and her team are specialized in crime scene investigation and are considered one of the best, but when they are called out to a murder scene that leaves even the supernatural community rattled, Sierida might seem the only one capable of solving the crime. This murder, however turns out to be only the first of several murders... Why her? What is so special about Sierida? That she has to find out on top of catching a killer.

This is such a wonderful read from this first time author
This is such a wonderful read from this first time author. There is mystery on each page that makes you want to keep reading, and the characters are so well thought out. Sierida's journey from the start when she sees herself as just a human and a Runner till how it ends kept me on the edge of me seat quite literally! I can't wait for the next book in the Aesir series and I hope there are many more books to come!

I got to read this book in the early stages
Full disclosure: I got to read this book in the early stages and have seen it become the awesome fantasy novel that it is now!

What I like about this is that the world's completely opposite of what you'd expect; supernatural creatures have taken all the power and dominance.There's vampires, warlocks, werewolves and elves with a heavy dose of Norse mythology.

Having read it a third (or is it fourth time now?) time, it's still as entertaining as it was the first time. I loved the snarky moments that Sierida and her warlock colleague Chauncy, and reading about how Sierida finally solves some mysteries about herself.

Without spoiling too much, there's magic involved, mystery and double crosses and even some time for romance for Sierida from an unlikely source. The action is fast-paced, and I couldn't believe that the end came so soon. Sure, Sierida's figured out a lot about herself at the end, but there's still so more questions and plenty of adventures in the next part of the series that I'm looking forward to!
