The thrilling sequel to Where the Gods Once Roamed has arrived!

And a darker fate is in store for Ylva and Connor…

Three Months of peace, that's all they were given. Even that is a farce, considering the warning given while in Egypt.

"They will come for you, young one."

Sure enough, someone had.

After Officer Jennifer Frey, their unwitting cop-accomplice, reveals a gruesome murder that took place hours before they arrived back in Norway, the peculiar couple must figure out who is hunting them, and why. They are losing the race against time; nearly every day reveals another body, a sacrifice in a bloody ritual to the unknown. The only clue, a poem—more a threat—and the depiction of a serpent in the gore.

What foul things will their investigation unveil, and how does Ylva tie into the whole of the gory picture?

Horrors. Spice, and long-forgotten secrets lie buried beneath the roots, leaving you to question everything you thought you knew. Where Serpents Dare Tread will make you keep listening in search of the answers.

Writing a good book is hard, writing a good sequel is even harder. Where Serpents Dare Tread is an excellent sequel. It repeats all of the elements that worked so well in the first book: the scattered humor and nerdy references, the endearing characters, the development of a mature relationship, and the unique yet grounded and well-researched fantasy take on Norse mythology. The tone was a touch darker and the stakes were a touch higher, exactly as they should be.
There was one twist I sniffed out so early it made the moment it dropped fall a bit flat, but there was enough other stuff keeping me on my toes that I would still call the plot far from predictable.
The cliffhanger sucks, but whatcha gonna do? It is a series after all. I'm still chomping at the bit for the next one.
I read the whole thing in one afternoon. Brennan's narration was so good. Her character voices are easy to distinguish from each other, the accents are good, and her diction choices genuinely added to the words themselves at times.
