Scotland, 803 A.D.
About to be burned at the stake by her fellow villagers, Odaria does what any betrayed witch facing certain death would do. She calls down a curse. Within seconds, rampaging Norsemen raid the village, capturing everyone except her.
But her reprieve is short-lived, and Odaria lands in the clutches of the Norse leader Rothgar. Can she remain true to herself and fight her growing attraction to this domineering man, or will she fall under his influence and be used for his ambitions?
After Rothgar witnesses Odaria's powers firsthand, he strikes a bargain with her. The raven-haired beauty will use her magical abilities to help him with his quest in exchange for safe passage off the isle. But can this cunning woman be trusted, or is she using him to exact vengeance on her village?
Together they must fight bloodthirsty villagers, battle a mutinous band of Norsemen, find a missing Norse ship, and learn to trust each other . . . before time is up.
My Review:
This was a really, really, really good book! Really enjoyed reading it, just sped right through it, even though I had planned on reading it the next day (which is making me really glad that I read it when I did, because yesterday was really, really, really busy and I might not have gotten a chance to read it) and yeah, the pages just kept going by, because the words on them compelled me to take them in and appreciate them!! And I did, because this was just the best!
The conflict in this book starts off right away with Odaria about to be burned alive for being a witch. After reading it, the leader guy, who is important to the book, should've been burned instead for being a male B with an itch, which, is honestly worse then a Witch because it's people being mean. And cruel. And in his case, a big fat liar and a semi-competent manipulator.
Odaria and Rothgar, they were, from an outsider's perspective, really funny together, they kept riling each other up, accidentally, of course, but that caused some really major arguments, which really spiced the novel up, with that fear, angry, and lust just piling into one big ball of emotions, and then being dropped in a pot till the heat set off explosions. Yep.
The Viking's Witch was a really good book, a fantastic read with wonderful characters, so you guys really should check it out, and the best thing is that it's a great length of 270 or so pages! Read it!!!
