River of Shadows by Karina Halle
3.0

This was so much fun! I’m obsessed with fantasy based on mythology, so add some incredibly well written smut in there and I’m sold! It does take a very long time for the romance part of the plot to even remotely kick in, but the wait was well worth it. And getting to know all this beautifully macabre Finnish mythology while they travelled through the underworld was so cool, I had a great time reading it! The plot was a little basic, and the writing could be really cheesy at times, but it added to the charm of the story and I still really enjoyed it. Can’t wait for book two! (That cliffhanger though
