Description: It's hard to be good when the other side is oh, so bad. The Valkyrie, Book 2 Linnea isn't exactly happy with her life as one of Odin's handmaidens, but she has always done what is expected of her. Yet all the while she knows the truth--the Valkyries are stretched thinner every day. And now Evil has stopped playing by the rules and started recruiting minions from the supernatural gene pool. Her newest assignment: counter the vampires' plan by seeking out brave male souls with supernatural powers to join Valhalla's cause. Leaping through waterfalls of time and into legendary battles has never bothered her before, but even with her magic, it's tough to beat the bloodsuckers to the best warriors before they can be turned. She never expected her quest to bring her face to face with love, in the form of Kerr Laochailan. Their innocent temptation flares into desire, so hot and fast it attracts the wrong kind of attention. In a cruel joke of fate, Kerr is torn from her. Yet her mission goes on. And Fate isn't through playing tricks on the lovers yet, nor is it done introducing lovers to her bed? Warning: This book contains a butt-kicking female, torn between her love of a stubborn Scottish vampire and a super-sexy Italian blood sucker. Oh, and a lot of fight scenes.

"Linnea, really now, do you have to carry on like that? I'm not asking you to end world hunger. I'm asking you to up your quota."

I glanced over at my mother sitting by the window, dressed in only a two-piece brown suede bikini and wondered how long it had been since she'd been out in the field. She didn't look a day over thirty-five and had a body any woman would kill for, but she'd long since given up leaving the grounds of Valhalla. The elders tell me that once my mother had been their greatest warrior princess. She'd retrieved more souls than any other Valkyrie ever had, but had given that all up when she became pregnant with me. I used to ask her why she stopped living the way of our people but she never answered me.

"Linnea, these are desperate times. The Apocalypse is fast approaching and we need to be prepared to fight evil."

The very mention of the Apocalypse set my nerves on edge. It always seemed to be hovering, just over the next horizon. Evil wasn't going down without a fight and no matter how hard we, the good guys, tried to save the day, there was always a tomorrow--always another bad guy waiting in the wings. It seemed they all had the same goal--wipe out mankind and rule the world.

My mother looked at me with eyes so blue that I often wondered how I was hers. My turquoise eyes were a far cry from her deep navy blue. "You know that you have the gifts needed in this battle. Use them and bring forth more warriors for our cause."

The argument was pointless. I knew as much yet I still attempted to state my case. "I've told you before it's not right to steal men away from the battlefields only to make them fight for our cause. Most are there fighting for their own reasons--families, land...freedom. What makes our cause more worthy than theirs?"
