A new middle grade series by Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr. The story is a bunch of kids in South Dakota are the direct descendants of various Norse gods and they seem to have been tapped to take the place of the gods to fight during the Ragnarok. This book is the setup of the story and as the plot goes the kids talk about the gods they are related to and what they can do with those powers. Of course there are people on the side of the monsters so there are obstacles for the kids to overcome and since it is a series ti doesn't leave so much on a cliffhanger but out the door and on their way to the next thing they need to accomplish. Light reading for adults and a good read for the YA/Middle grade reader.
