Solina Mundy lives a quiet life, running the family bakery
in her small North Carolina hometown. But one night, she suffers a vivid
nightmare in which a wolfish beast is devouring her twin brother, who lives in
Alaska. The next morning, police notify her that Mani is dead. Driven to learn
the truth, Solina heads for the Land of the Midnight Sun. Once there, she
begins to suspect Mani’s friends know more about his death than they’ve let on.
Skyla, an ex-Marine, is the only one willing to help her.
As Solina and Skyla delve into the mystery surrounding Mani’s death, Solina is stunned to learn that her own life is tied to Mani’s friends, his death, and the fate of the entire world. If she can’t learn to control her newfound gifts and keep her friends safe, a long-lost dominion over mortals will rise again, and everything she knows will fall into darkness.

My Thoughts…
Midnight Burning is a look at mythology, which I know very
little about. My lack of knowledge did
not hinder my understanding of the story.
Karissa Laurel did a great job explaining the Gods and how the rankings
went without making it boring. She gave
just enough information for the unknowing reader to get enough understanding to
follow the rest of the story. I ended
the book thinking that I definitely need to check out more mythological
books.
I have to be careful while writing this review as I really
want to give away more than I should thus possibly giving away spoilers, I will
be careful so please keep reading.
Solina is not a complicated woman, at least in the beginning. She lives at home, works with her family in
their bakery, and does not travel. When
her twin brother ends up murdered in Alaska everything changes for her. She cannot put his death behind her; she
has to know what actually happen to him.
As she learns more about what happened to her brother, she comes into
herself. She finds her true talents,
finds friends, and finds out about a world that she never knew thought was
real.
Midnight Burning is part of a series. This is the first one and definitely worth
checking out. It does not end
abruptly, but does leave unanswered questions.
I will hope that Karissa Laurel does not keep us waiting long for
more.
