Ellie, her overprotective brother Graham, and his best friend Tuck are visiting her grandmother in Norway. Ellie arrives first and gets a chance to get away from her brother who constantly scares boys away. While on a date with med student Kjell, some girls enter the bar and try to steal him away. She stops them and he explains that Valkyries are kidnapping boys and that the myths are real. Several have disappeared recently even though a Valkyrie is only supposed to lead a dead solider to Valhalla. Odin is breaking the rules and Ellie will need to stop him to save all the kidnapped boys. 
 I am not very educated in Norse mythology but the book does a great job of explaining everything and was easy to follow along. My only other read including this mythology was the Need series by Carrie Jones. Although with all the mythology I thought the action was a little slow. Ellie was very brave to stand up to the Valkyries and to work so hard to get her brother back. I've said it a million times, no way would I do anything like this for my brother. lol I would have been like oh well you snuck out that is what you get! But then again I kind of feel like Ellie was partly to blame since she kept things from Graham that might have kept him from sneaking out. 
 Ellie and her grandmother kind of drove me nuts. Ellie knows that boys 18 and over that are strong and good looking are being kidnapped. So when her brother arrives, who happens to be all those things, she doesn't tell him what's going on?! She thinks keeping it a secret will protect him. Also her grandmother keeps her in the dark for a long time and just tells Graham not to go out of town but doesn't explain why. Well if a teenage boy wants to go party, he will, unless someone explains that his life is in danger! I was rather irritated with all the lack of communication going on. 
 I thought Tuck was a sweet love interest. I loved that Ellie and him had been friends for so long. But I also was ready for Ellie to just date the med student she met because Tuck would not get the courage to make a move and stand up to Graham. Tuck was nice to respect his friend but if you really love Ellie you need to speak up and work things out and stop teasing us! lol Tuck does grow and stand by Ellie so I really began to enjoy them as a team. While I would have liked a bit more action, and the characters annoyed me at times, I did enjoy the book. I think it just wasn't exactly for me but if you love Valkyries, kick butt heroines, and Norse mythology I would highly recommend it. 
 "And I'm assuming you know losing you scares me more than anything." 
 "Were you two just kissing?" 
 "I know, right?" Tuck grinned. "It was even better than I imagined."
