I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Berserker description from Goodreads

Berserker is not the kind of book I usually read.  Good thing one of my New Year’s resolutions is to expand my mind by reading books I usually wouldn’t.  I did judge this book by its cove when I decided to read it.  The blood intrigued me.  

Berserker is an adventure story that starts with Henne and her family in Norheimsund,

Norway, and Owen in Chouteau County, Montana. Both are running from the past

and trying to start a new life in the untamed west.  

I had high hopes for this book in the very beginning. I loved when the book was

about the Nytte and its gifts. I only wish there would have been more focus on the

history of the Nytte. Once the characters travel from Norway to America, I started

to lose interest.  I felt the book was very predictable. This book follows the

time-tested formula of two people that fate brings together falling in love, despite all

odds. I guess I was disappointed that the book did not fit the cover.  It was not what I was expecting.

Romance readers will like this book.  I would consider it a “rookie” romance book

because the “love” is not graphic, but it is hinted at throughout the story.
