The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec is a book I checked out at a library near me. The first thing that caught my eye was the book design and of course, the fact that it would be about a witch's heart intrigued me. I can barely put it down to get anything done but watering my plants!

This book is Genevieve's first novel and I give her huge kudos. 

Her passion for and knowledge of Norse myths has weaved their way into this captivating story including Odin, Skadi, Loki, wolves, a giant snake and our main character . . . Angrboda. 

Here's a hint of some strange things that happen . . . Angrboda births three children but are they all humans? You'll have to read the book to get that answer. Are the worlds as the gods know them coming to an end or a new beginning? What is Angrboda's purpose in bringing the worlds together or blowing them apart? Do her "children" play a pivotal part?

Genevieve will keep you guessing as you turn the pages til the very end. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.
