Inferno
Humans are taught that death is the end, that it’s their soul’s final curtain call. But for the members of Valhalla Rising MC, death is only the beginning.Inferno…
Life is a series of events that can either make or break a man. As a human, I always seemed to find trouble, and that was never more true than the day I ran into a burning building to save its occupants. Unfortunately, I was only able to save two, and they went on to live another day. I, on the other hand, died in that fire.
But it wasn’t the end for me. I became a celebrated hero, both in Valhalla and in the human world. When the little girl I saved is all grown up, she’s in danger again, and Odin sends me to the land of the living to protect her. The problem is, I look exactly as she remembers, and that leads her to the wrong conclusion that I’m the enemy.
It doesn’t matter. The second I lay eyes on her as a beautiful woman, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to save her life… again.
Emmy…
When I was a child, I was one of two survivors of a horrible tragedy. Hundreds died that day, including the man who rescued me. I was changed in ways I couldn’t even begin to fathom at such a young age, but as I got older, it became more clear. Helping other survivors of trauma is my calling, my passion.
But how can I help others when I can’t even help myself? I’m suddenly the target of a deranged stalker, and my life is once again in jeopardy. A ghost from my past appears, quite literally, and I’m convinced he’s the one who’s out to get me. But despite my fear, there’s something about him that forces me to accept his help.
My life was spared once, but will my luck hold out? Or will I die right as the world starts to make sense again?

An MC with a mythology twist that was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. Inferno saved Emmy once but can he save her twice. Great love story that was a real page turner.

INFERNO is the second instalment in Andi Rhodes’ contemporary, adult VALHALLA RISING MC (VRMC) erotic, paranormal, fantasy romance series. This is VRMC VP Dean ‘Inferno’ Haskins, and trauma counsellor Emmaline ‘Emmy’ Daniels. INFERNO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Inferno and Emmy) INFERNO begins in 2006 wherein Dean Haskins rescued two people from a deadly fire at a local primary school, and trying to save more lives, Dean lost his own in the process. Fast forward to present day Dean aka Inferno has been assigned by Odin to protect his soulmate Emmaline Daniels, the child, now the woman, he saved years before but Emmaline has a stalker, and Inferno is determined to take down the person targeting our story line heroine.
The world building focuses on Inferno’s need to get close to Emmaline but Emmaline is beginning to suspect Dean is someone from her past.As the stalker get closer, the Valhalla Rising MC begins to search for the person responsible.

Emmy is a trauma counselor who focuses on people who are struggling; Inferno is a warrior of Valhalla MC, and Odin has commanded he protect the woman that calls to his soul. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

Inferno is the second book in the new Valhalla Rising MC series by Andi Rhodes. It is the perfect blend of MC romance and paranormal, with a dash of suspense and grittiness. The characters are complex, vulnerable yet resilient, and fierce. The writing is very transfixing, making this book unputdownable. Inferno is thrilling, compelling, gripping, raw, and an edge-of-the-seat page-turner with a wild ride, emotion-charged story, and danger delivering with every page.
Valhalla Rising MC members believe that death is just the beginning, not the end. A man dies heroically in a fire but is sent back to protect the girl he saved, who now sees him as an enemy. Emmy, a survivor of a tragic event, helps others but is now targeted by a stalker. A ghost from her past reappears to help her, but she wonders if her luck will run out. The past and present are perfectly interwoven adding to the romance and plot. Both have an emotional past and baggage. Inferno and Emmy's story is messy, emotional, healing, and dark with a few obstacles in the way. I loved Inferno's protectiveness and possessiveness. Their connection seems very special. The romance is unique revolving around an entertaining concept.
Such great addition to this fabulous series: MC with a mythology/PNR twist yet enough suspense, danger, emotions, twists and turns to keep reader on the toes.

Inferno is the second book of the new Valhalla Rising MC series by Andi Rhodes. Most of the author’s series are about motorcycle clubs and she knows the ins and outs. What’s different about out the Valhalla series is that she mixes in some Norse mythology with the steamy romance.
Emmy is a trauma counselor who was one of only two survivors of an elementary school fire when she was a child. Inferno (Dean) is the man who died after rescuing her when he went back into the raging fire to rescue more victims. Because he died a hero he was welcomed into Valhalla.
The god of Valhalla, Odin, sends Inferno and his MC brothers back to the realm of the living to protect Emmy, the girl Inferno saved from the fire. She has garnered the attention of a stalker who is quickly escalating.
The characters are captivating and relatable. I mean, who hasn’t dealt with trauma? The story is enthralling with the perfect amount of paranormal combined with danger, heartache and steamy romance. As always, I am sad when I read the last sentence because I want MORE! So please Andi…….gimme more of the Valhalla series!
I received a copy of the story in advance so that I could provide this honest review.

Having died after saving Emmy from a fire Dean ends up in Valhalla. To this day he still struggles with what happened. Problems back on earth see Inferno and the crew sent back to protect a young woman. There is only one problem Emmy recognises him, the guy standing before her is the same up who died saving her life all those years ago and she starts to question everything. Dean/Inferno has to think on his feet to try and convince her otherwise. He also has to try and figure out who is after her and why. These two have a massive connection one that is hard to deny. I really enjoyed this book. There is a few twists and turns its gritty and there is romance and a lot of chemistry. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Action packed and will keep you guessing who the bad guy!
For all the rough edges Dean Haskins, more aptly known as Inferno, is a natural protector and hero. When it comes to that young girl he saved, he is amazingly fierce and determined to protect her and give her a life worth living. The first time he saved her, it cost him his life. When she is threatened by an unknown stalker, what will be the price this time?
These two characters are immediately drawn together and automatically know and trust each other. I guess that’s part of the soulmate bond that Odin mentioned. Go figure!! They are definitely a match made by the gods!

Inferno & Emmy
My deepest thank you, Andi Rhodes, for this series combining PNR, Viking Mythology, and MC in an absorbing series. "Please, ma'am, may we have some more?"
Inferno resides in Vallhala except when Odin has a job for him. This task is to go to earth to protect a stalked woman. It turns out he saved her years ago losing his human life in the process. As a hero, he earned his place in Valhalla.
There is intrigue, danger, heat, and characters you won't forget, and long for their stories.

This is the second book of the series and takes us back to the Valhalla MC. Inferno and Emmy's story mingles the MC world and the mythology of Old Norse. I love that they have a Earth side MC that helps with their cover. I also love how the author has interpreted and modernized the world of the Gods and Valhalla.
Great chemistry with Inferno and Emmy. Lots of action in the story. Looking forward to reading more in this series.

While this world still confuses me and isn't something I'd normally read, I enjoyed this book far more than the first and felt it was easier to follow.
That in itself makes me excited for the rest of the series where I was hesitant before.
Bonds are being formed and I look forward to seeing what becomes of them.

Inferno and Emmy met briefly when he saved her from a fire, a fire he died in. He ended up in Valhalla, and was later tasked with helping Emmy when she becomes the victim of a stalker.
Unfortunately, and kind of awkwardly, he still looks the same, causing some confusion with Emmy, as everyone knew he'd died.
This was a quick read, but an enjoyable one. I like the whole concept, with the MC in the afterlife, and them helping those on Earth.
