About this ebook

A Norse trickster god with a bad rap becomes an accidental hero when he saves a boy from the curse of vengeful witches. He swears on his villainous heart, no more Mr. Nice Guy. 

Blurb:

Mind your own business. Keep your head down. Shenanigans are for suckers. 

Loki has learned his lesson and learned it well. He's the original desperado hiding out in the American frontier. Unfortunately for the god of lies, the Norse goddesses of fate are up to dirty tricks—targeting a six-year-old boy and his faithful dog for termination.

These witches made a fatal miscalculation by angering the world's savviest trickster. Loki rides to the rescue. But as they say, no good deed goes unpunished—centuries of staying off Odin's radar blown in a heartbeat.

Old enemies are reunited. While Odin and Loki square off for a showdown, bloody warfare erupts between various supernatural factions, including hunters, wolves, and Odin's worshippers.

Before Ragnarok ends the world, Loki must choose. Does he want to be a champion or a destroyer? He has a notion of protecting the nine worlds from total obliteration, but it means trusting the blood brother who betrayed him.

Gallows God was previously published under the title "Wolf's Cross."

"Write fast Ms. Snark!" ~ 4.5 Stars from InD'Tale Magazine

"Melissa Snark is next on my reading list. I look forward to reading more of her books." ~ 4.5 stars Top Pick from Night Owl Reviews

This book is a great time! It combines all the best elements of the paranormal with a spine-chilling mystery. Although short, it is a well-told story full of twists and turns. The author has a light easy-going touch with a descriptive style that draws the reader into the action. Although a little light on the shape-shifting aspect of the characters, the story explores other aspects of the supernatural, drawing inspiration from Viking mythology. This use of mythology in a modern way opens up a plethora of new ideas for the genre. "Valkyrie's Vengeance" is a niceeasy read, perfect for unwinding after work or on a Sunday afternoon.
