(Tribe, #1)
Publication date: October 6th 2018
Genres: Urban Fantasy, Young Adult
A powerful god, a magical tattoo and a rebellious teenager. What could possibly go wrong?
Christian, an unruly English teenager, stumbles onto a mysterious tattoo parlor. Possessed by the Rune God, Hagalaz, he becomes immortal, gifted with magical powers which allow him to harness the forces of nature.
Only problem? Hagalaz God of Disruption, is intent on making Christian’s life a living hell.
Oh, and did I mention the Settlers, a mysterious group with a dark and devastating secret?
It is up to Christian and his new Tribe of four, each gifted with their own celestial passenger, to uncover that secret.
But nothing is what it seems, and it will take much more than the powers of a few long-forgotten gods to stop the impending global disaster that threatens to destroy everyone and everything in its path.

EXCERPT:
“Oh hell!”
My hands were glowing blue-white, and sparks were shooting out of my fingers. I moved them away from my sides, which turned out to be a bad idea, because forks of lightning shot out of them hitting the street below.
‘Stop!’ yelled Ben and I turned to look at him. He’d climbed off the ledge and was clinging to a drain pipe attached to the side of the building. The wind whipped at his shirt and almost tore it off his body.
‘I’m trying!’ I shouted back as more lightning flared out of my fingertips and crashed to the street below, tearing up pavement like paper. So far I hadn’t hit anyone, but it was just a matter of time as lightning was firing off left and right.
Hagalaz was really getting into his stride. I had to do something, but what?

Evils Surrounds Them – In The House of Leviathan by B D Bruns #BDBRuns
.
In The House of Leviathan by B D Bruns has such an eerie cover with a ghothic ghostly feel to it, that I would have grabbed this for that reason alone.
How about you? Do covers affect you like that or are you drawn to a book for another reason?

MY REVIEW
I love the eerie, gothic cover for In The House of the Leviathan by B D Bruns. It fits the story inside, which takes place in 1863.
Monsters and spirits, gossip and fear. Who is to say what is the truth.
Could the Leviathan be terrorizing the sea? Could the spirits be terrorizing the papermill? It will test their faith in God.
On the beautiful, inviting Amalfi Coast of Italy, a spirit is terrorizing the town, it’s anger knowing no bounds, seeking…
Who is next? Why?
There are those who give their all and there are those who let their anger and jealousy fly, never caring who pays the price, just striking out.
I enjoyed the story, which was not quite what I was expecting. Did that affect my rating…I don’t know.
3 Stars
