Recommendation written by
Alex Casey:
C. Gockel, author of the
I Bring The Fire series about the misadventures of Loki, the Norse god of Chaos and Mischief, is running a
99 cent sale
today through Sunday night (Jan. 31, 2016) on the box set of her first
four eBooks at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBooks, and Kobo. I've
enjoyed reading the first few books in the series, so I can tell you
Gockel has a terrific take on Loki. I easily pictured the mischievous
face of Tom Hiddleston (from the movies
Thor,
Thor: The Dark World, and
The Avengers)
as if he acted throughout these stories! And boy, does Loki bring on
the mischief! (Not that Odin, ruler of the Nine Realms, doesn't deserve
most of it.)
The books in the box set are the first
three novels and a novella. The next three books in the series have
already been published, so you don't have to wait months or years to buy
the next books in the series. The seven book series is already
complete.
Grab the box set now at 99 cents while you still can. It's totally worth it!

Sometimes the hero is the wrong guy at the right time.
When
Amy Lewis prays for a savior, Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos, is
not who she has in mind. Loki can not resist Amy's summons, but he can
insist she help him outwit Odin, ruler of the Nine Realms. Can Amy trust
a so-called God of Mischief? With a powerful evil calling him from
beneath the city's streets, can Loki even trust himself?
This box set contains the first four installments of
I Bring the Fire. It is perfect for fans of
The Dresden Files,
American Gods, and Terry Pratchett.
***
Wolves: I Bring the Fire Part I
In the
middle of America, Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma's house. She's
being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away, Loki is waking up in a
prison cell, strangely without a hangover and with no idea what he's
done wrong -- this time, anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding
something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be
something he's forgotten ....
In this urban fantasy tale, a nice
Midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit
gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can
remember exactly what he's forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be
too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day
benders, they just might pull it off ....
***
Monsters: I Bring the Fire Part II
After
being attacked by a serial killer, saved by Loki -- so-called God of
Mischief, Lies and Chaos -- dragged to Alfheim, losing every cent in her
bank account, and caring for her grandmother, Amy Lewis has lost her
scholarship to veterinary school. But it's all right. She has a plan. If
she manages to keep her day job as a receptionist, and her night job as a
vet tech, she may be able to get her scholarship reinstated and save
enough money for the dreaded 'miscellaneous fees.'
Too bad her day boss is unbearable ....
Agent
Steve Rogers has political aspirations, but when a suitcase nuke turns
out to be something much worse and so-called Norse gods start showing up
in his life, he has a priority shift.
Meanwhile, Loki's
priorities and plans haven't changed at all. He wants Asgard to burn. Of
course, earthly pleasures can be so distracting.
These three
disparate characters have little in common, but they'll have to join
forces to save earth from trolls, wyrms, frost giant invasions, and an
old evil growing beneath Chicago's streets.
***
Chaos: I Bring the Fire Part III
In
this final installment of the Cera story arc, the noose around Loki's
neck is tightening. Gerðr, the frost giantess, wants him dead; Cera, the
World Seed, wants his head -- literally and figuratively; the FBI wants
him in Guantanamo; and an old friend from Asgard wants to bring him
home ... whether Loki likes it or not.
Things can't get any worse,
but when Loki's involved, it's certain they will. In the third chapter
of
I Bring the Fire, humanity's demons are unleashed on the Nine Realms,
and Amy Lewis and Steve Rogers get front row seats.
Chaos might be their only hope.
***
In the Balance: An I Bring the Fire Novella
Chaos can never really be destroyed ...
Loki, God of Chaos, gave Amy Lewis all his memories, and one request before he saved the universe: "Remember for me."
Amy knows Loki will find her, one way or another ... eventually. But as the weeks have ticked, by she's lost hope.
Called
into the FBI headquarters to identify a magical artifact, she gets the
opportunity to find Loki for herself. In doing so, she tips the scales
of not one, but two universes, and has to choose for herself what form
she wants Chaos to take.
The fate of the Nine Realms is in the balance, and this time it is in Amy's hands.
