Review: Heroes (Eirik #2) by Ednah Walters



Book Blurb

Heroes are not born. They rise out of love and duty.
What if you have to choose?

Book 2 of Eirik Trilogy continues the story of a god and a Mortal girl.

Eirik wants nothing more than to show Celestia—the Witch who pulled him out of the darkness—that his feelings for her are real, but his parents expect him to avenge a wrong done to his family. To make matters worse, Celestia is moving on and is already dating another guy. Then Eirik discovers she is the key to accomplishing his goals. Caught between love and duty, Eirik will do whatever it takes, including getting up close and personal with Celestia, to get his way.

Celestia is convinced she is drawn to Eirik because of the bond created by the dragon's kiss, so she pushes him away. But when he comes to her for help, she is once again thrust into his world, where things are never what they seem.

From Earth to the realms of the gods, betrayal follows them and help comes from unexpected sources. But when the time comes for Eirik to choose, will he fulfill his duty or follow his heart? Everything rests on his shoulders as the wrong choice may lead to Celestia's worst fear—the rise of the Harbinger of Death.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Eirik is searching for his grandmother and his long lost sister.  He flies everyday looking for signs and scents of his grandmother.  He knows she is the key to finding his sister.  However others have invaded his mother’s castle determined to win his favor.  He is expected to chose a bride and for allainces.  He battles with them all showing his skills and prowess but is ready for them to leave.  His attitude shows it as he spars with his mother’s fighters.
His parents take things into their own hands sending Echo to fetch Celestia.  Eirik is trying to leave her be knowing he causes her pain.  Celestia is trying to move on herself.  She even goes on a date with someone else.  Echo appears escorting her to Eirik.  She comes face to face with him and her feelings rush back.  So does Eirik’s.  He decides he isn’t letting her go a second time especially after he found out his grandmother bit her.
They plan to work together to find his sister and his grandmother.  However witches are being murdered and her mentor disappears.  The orphans are on the move.  Eirik and the Grimnirs make a plan to go after the orphans by entering another realm.
Eirik has to make some difficult decisions protecting those he loves.  Celestia sacrifices a lot to save Eirik’s sister.  However things aren’t as they seem and Eirik has to draw on his powers and strength to save her.
I love this series.  I enjoyed reading about Raine and Torin.  I also loved Echo and Cora’s story.  So I was excited to read Eirik’s story.  I loved how Eirik and Celestia met.  She is a great character.  She is independent and gives Eirik a run for his money.  She doesn’t put up with his cocky attitude.  Eirik loves that about her.  They also work well together in this book.  The beginning has them separated from each other but the Goddess brings them together.  They fight their feelings at first but accept it for what it truly is.
The author sends them both on a wild goose chase throughout the story.  The reader has to witness every decision and guesses they both make.  Eirik is torn about his grandmother at first.  He wants to think she is salvageable.
Celestia, unfortunately, knows her mother is not.  You get a glimpse of her mother with a bit of the backstory revealed.  Celestia confronts her mother and learns a bit of the secrets her mother has kept.  She came across as completely crazy, raving about her daughter being the harbinger of death.

This story was full of twists and turns.  You weren’t sure who Eirik and Celestia should trust.  It was a great story and addition to the series.  I can’t wait to see what these two do next.  I give it a 5 out of 5.
