Twelve keys, one secret. Odin and his twelve sons guard the secret to prolonging human life. The secret, kept deep in a vault in Ragnorok, can only be revealed when humans stop intentionally killing one another. Twelve humans hold the keys to open the vault, but during centuries of complacency, Odin has lost track of the keyholders. Two keyholders now remain, and Odin awakens to their existence. Can Odin and his sons protect the last two keyholders, or will Loki, Odin's greatest rival, destroy everything Odin holds dear and seize control of Ragnorok?

To combine Norse Gods from mythology with the local police department of today is quite a feat indeed. From the first few pages, I expected this to be a murder mystery type novel which would have been just fine, not quite my bag, but I would have read it anyway. Only when the Gods entered the arena did my curiosity peak further - that was a big plus point for me.I loved the idea of a mundane coffee shop housing enough Gods to destroy all mankind. The thought of being served a Latte by Odin, or Thor himself really is quite something. It is clear from reading this that a lot of thought went into the dynamics of it. If it were possible, I'd have rated it at a 4.5 star read. One of the things I did like was the portrayal of our would-be heroine, Casey. A girl with a past which lead to a new identity and life, now faced with a battle for her life simply against those not of this world. Her persona, detailed to such a degree as a reader gets a real sense of who she is, was brilliantly done. There's even a flicker of unrequited romance spattered throughout this novel - it would seem that even Gods have their weaknesses.So now, I hear you ask, if it's that good, why the 4 star? Bear with me. This book combines Norse fiction with elements of Norse mythology fact. I found that a little confusing. Floki, according to mythology, was actually a Viking boat builder, creator of the Longboats and right hand man to Ragnar. He wasn't a God as such. If we're talking Gods, that would be Loki who, as we're told in the story is aided by Hel. In Norse Mythology, Hel is actually Loki's son. While both Floki, and Loki have the same characteristics, only one of them is an actual mythological God with a son by the name of Hel. That would be Loki. I'm not sure if this was an oversight or intentional, however, if a story has characters such as Odin, Thor, Hel, Floki (Loki) and the other God brothers, I think maintaining consistency - Norse fact, or fiction, would have been a much better benefit to the story. Having said that, it's the only element to an otherwise great tale that stood out for me.For a first read of this author, it won't be my last. Persona, another title, is winding it's way up my TBR list and I'll get to that soon. I really enjoyed the writing style, pace of the book - which picked up considerably as soon as the Gods showed up, and the overall plots, twists and turns the story took.In closing then, a super tale with plenty of thrills, spills and tense action combined with Norse Gods, the boys and girls in blue and an everyday coffee shop that'll keep you reading to the end which, incidentally, was also rounded off quite nicely. If amazon allowed, it would be a 4.5 star read from me and I look forward to reading more from Ceri Bayden in the near future.

This is the first book I have read from this author and it won't be the last.In Twe12ve Ceri Bladen has taken a complex and elaborate plot and told it in an interesting and simple way. The structure of this novel has been well thought out and is cleverly brought to a conclusion with all tie nicely wrapped up. There is so much going on in Twe12ve but I never lost sight of the story.As you read you can feel the suspense build up as the pages are turned. In the world of the human characters life becomes pretty hectic for them. All the characters are interesting, the human ones are believable and the not so human are complex, some are likeable and some you just want them to get their just desserts.I mentioned that there is so much going on in Twe12ve - stalking, building relationships, plotting, fighting, chasing and loving - all are brought together to deliver a great story.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Norse Gods go wild By Eric Lahti I really like the idea that gods wander among us doing godly things and generally causing problems. That was the central tenet of Douglas Adams' The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, it was an integral part of Neil Gaiman's American Gods and Anansi Boys, and I used a similar idea in Henchmen and Arise.The one thing, though, that all of those books had in common was the gods were really just doing god stuff and were mostly unconcerned with human things. Today's book, Twe12ve by Ceri Bladen, changes that dynamic somewhat. The story of Twe12ve revolves around two groups of Norse gods. Naturally, the groups are at odds with each other over a secret buried in Odin's vault; one group wants to keep the secret safe (they're the good guys) and the other wants to steal it and hand it off to pharma company, presumably so the pharma company can make sure it never gets out.And that's kind of an interesting twist on the god genre. While it's never actually revealed what the pharma company has promised the bad guys in return for the secret, one can only assume it must be impressive to catch the attention of a bunch of Norse gods.If I had one problem with Twe12ve it's that some of the mythology is a little off. I won't worry about the names (Floki instead of Loki), because names can change and it's entirely possible Loki just wanted to use a different name. He's a god; he can do stuff like that without even bothering to fill out a change of name form.The gods make plenty of references to wanting to go home. Unfortunately, they want to go back to Ragnarok. Ragnarok is an event, though, not a place; it's the end times when the great battle will happen. Asgard is where the gods lived. The cool people got to hang in Valhalla - a large hall inside of Asgard.Aside from that, Twe12ve was a fun read.
