Sometimes you need a monster to save you from the dark.

They say a person's wyrd - their destiny - is carved into Yggdrasil's branches long before they are born. The Norns have a plan for everyone and mere mortals aren't meant to stray.

But three hundred years after Odin's gates between the Nine Worlds malfunctioned, Outlanders left behind on Midgard have forgotten their wyrd and have integrated into society so thoroughly that few humans are even aware of their existence.

PI Bryn Ullman spends her days using her unique gift of retrocognition to assist the local police force in solving otherwise impossible crimes. Her nights are spent alone in hiding, very literally, from the shadows themselves and from those who want her to fulfill her birthright.

Trygg Mackenzie, berserker in hiding from Odin and the eternal servitude that he owes, buries his secrets behind the calm facade of a security professional, working for the mob. But he's just one stressor away from losing it all to the monster inside him.

When a murder investigation thrusts Bryn into his life, Trygg is more than willing to risk exposure and even his life in order to protect the courageous beauty who sets his blood on fire, but the one thing she values the most - the truth - might be more than he's willing to offer.

As mob secrets and unknown factions threaten their work and their lives, will giving in to their passion be their undoing or their salvation?

On the path of fate and destiny, it'll take A Twist of Wyrd to save them both.

-------------------------------------------------------
A TWIST OF WYRD contains violence and adult sexual situations that are not appropriate for readers under the age of 18.

Strong, complex characters, intricate storytelling plus superb world-building

March 22, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A debut work by this author, I had no idea what to expect, but I was just blown away from beginning to end. I adored the smart and sarcastic Bryn: "a woman who would kick a$$ and not bother taking names" but who has so many secrets and demons. I loved Trygg as well, who has his own brand of honor, in addition to his own secrets and monster to fight. Plenty of great supporting characters as well as a plot that had so many turns my head was spinning.

There was so much going on here, I just couldn't read fast enough to unravel all the mysteries. It reminded me a bit of Robin McKinley or Patricia Briggs (two of my all-time favorite fantasy authors), with layered world-building based off of Norse mythology. The glossary in the back was a nice touch, though I'm pretty sure even with the pronunciation help, I'm saying the names in my head wrong, lol.

Strong, complex characters, intricate storytelling plus that superb world-building all made for an amazing read. If this is what her debut work is like, I can't wait to see what's next. 5+ stars

Sassy, sexy, suspense what more could you possibly want?!?!

March 23, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A kick-a$$ heroine and the ultimate bad boy in a story 300 years in the making. I’m a big fan of fantasy and Norse mythology, but this was an amazing twist on the stories. Such intricate world building, weaving a huge mythology into nowhere Ohio.

So many interesting well developed characters. Brynn was a bada$$ with a sarcastic wit but flawed and vulnerable too. Trygg was so hot, his inner conflict resonated so much with me, fighting your own demons. Lots of fun side characters, that I hope have the potential for starring roles later on.

The storytelling was on point, easy to read and understand, with perfect pacing to keep you on the edge of your seat. All at once you could be scared to turn the page, afraid of what might happen next, and desperate to turn and find out. This is an amazing debut book, and I can’t wait for more!!

Enjoyed this book from start to finish

March 30, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Enjoyed this book from start to finish! The romance was great, but OMG so was the action.The pace from build up to the big scenes in the end was so well done. It had all the things that make me fall in love with a book, and I can't tell you how much I laughed through most of the pages -- the snark and sass was honestly my favorite. I love Brynn, such a perfect balance of strong and vulnerable.
The story doesn't end on a cliffy, but it left me wanting more of Trygg and Brynn! I hope there's more of them to come.
Kudos to a very well, confidently written debut for this author!

Fun, Action packed, Sexy and Adventurous....with a Twist

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What a fun, action packed, sexy, adventurous story! Bryn and Trygg have so much depth in their characters and Friel has definitely given us just a taste of what is sure to delve even deeper.

Weaving in all the levels of Norse mythology only adds to the story and makes for a fast read which keeps you hungry for more. Twist is just the beginning of the story. Keep feeding us Friel.

What a story. You want to cheer Bryn on then shake her at her stubbornness. You fall in love with Trygg. You want a bestie like Dezi. And you want to shower after DG shows up. The magic, the romance, the conflict keeps you turning the pages. It's a gotta read. Can't wait for #2.

Great debut, with danger, romance, sexy stuff, intrigue and Norse-landia-in-contemp-Ohio. Want more? Read the book!

March 20, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

I don't read MF as a rule, but not only did I get into this fast-paced, sexy tale, but I already want more of the same. Luckily, it's the first book in the series and I have it on good authority that the author will soon be diving into book 2.

In this we meet Bryn, part Norse royalty, part...darkness, utterly feisty and independent - and prickly. She lives her life on her terms, afraid to let anyone get close, because she's learned at a terrible price that others can’t be trusted. Not even her parents. And maybe not even her bestie. And certainly not the man who melts through her icy core…or can he?

That man is Trygg, a 352yo berserker, who's lived, loved and lost more than once. He’s a contradictory mix of mob enforcer and gentleman lover, and occasionally, sometimes unwillingly, utterly primal. His heritage is complex and dark and he’s laying low for reasons of his own…

Trygg has secrets that rival Bryn’s, and they’re both reluctant to open up and risk themselves, but once they come together, their chemistry takes over. There’s explosions, verbal and physical, and there’s plenty of the sassy and sexy stuff. It's a battle of the sexes tale with intelligence and humour, and with a female lead who’s as strong as the male. And, thank the Norse gods, there’s none of the dreaded 'we're in the middle of danger, but hey, let's just find a convenient nook/cranny/ledge/wardrobe/whatever and have sex' clichés!

Underlying the passion and adventure is a tale that introduces a complex world with intrigue, danger, betrayal, darkness, deceit and secrets. It’s done with passion and great detail, and with a host of characters I wanted to know more about. But, hey, the really good stuff can’t be rushed, so this world unfolds over several tales, though each will be a standalone.

Whilst the tale ends in the start of Bryn and Trygg’s HEA, and whilst there are no cliff-hangers, there’s just enough left slightly untied and untold that makes me impatient for the next.

Disclaimer: I was one of the betas for this tale, and was honoured to be asked. It’s good enough that I went straight out and bought my own copy.
