Review: Shadow and Ice (Gods of War #1) by Gena Showalter

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Jackie Paxson

 

The Queen of Paranormal Romance, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Gena Showalter, stuns with SHADOW AND ICE, the first title in her scorching new paranormal romance Gods of War Series. Check out the tour stop below and get your copy of SHADOW AND ICE today!

 

Gena Showalter, the New York Times bestselling author who brought you the Lords of the Underworld, introduces a scorching new paranormal romance series… Gods of War.

Knox of Iviland has spent his life competing in the All Wars, where vicious warriors with supernatural powers fight to the death to claim new realms. One winner takes everything—and all losers die. Enslaved as a child for his ability to control shadows, the most ruthless champion in history will stop at nothing to kill his king. But first he must win the battle for Earth. When a fearsome weapon imprisons every combatant in ice, centuries pass without progress…until she walks in.

Vale London craves a fun arctic getaway with her foster sister before settling down to open a bakery. Street-tough but vulnerable, she is unprepared to find ancient gods escaping a frozen cave—merciless beings who target her when she inadvertently enters their war.

Though Vale is now his enemy, Knox is consumed with lust and a fierce need to protect her. But only one combatant can prove victorious, and he will have to choose: live for freedom, or die for love.

Review:

Knox’s life has been spent winning All Wars for his king.  He is single minded in his brutality to win the wars at all cost.  When his and the other competitors are stopped from competing for 1400 years.  Vale has had a tough life.  She wants to take her sister on one final adventure before they start their business.  What she doesn’t expect to find are a group of frozen warriors.  When these warriors break free Vale and her sister are thrust into this war for Earth.  Knox is immediately drawn to Vale.  Though all his instincts pull him to destroy everything…but Vale.  Can Vale and Knox get a happily ever after when their lives are on the line every second of every day?

The Queen of paranormal romance is back.  Gena Showalter’s newest series is incredibly exciting.  She is one of the most talented world builders around.  Knox and Vale are incredibly complex and exciting.  Not only are their characters multi-faceted and relatable but they are steeped in the paranormal world.  Knox and Vale aren’t the only great characters.  The rest of the warriors and their powers and worlds are incredibly detailed and interesting.  Gena Showalter has really done a good job of creating this new series.  It was a little slow at start but once the story really got going it was hard to put the book down to go to work.  If you are looking for a new exciting paranormal romance then pick up this new series by Gena Showalter.
