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 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 Valhalla Rising #2 By: Andi Rhodes Release Date: May 28, 2024 Genre: Paranormal MC Romance Format: eARC from Give Me Books Promotions Couple: Inferno & Emmy Stars:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Flames: 🔥 Review: Wow! Inferno and Emmy’s romance was tragic, passionate, and action-packed! Inferno is a supernatural being from Valhalla.

I loved the past and current connection Inferno and Emmy share. Their love story is sweetly passionate despite the threats Emmy is receiving. I loved Inferno’s protectiveness, and his powers are heart-stopping! Emmy has turned her trauma into something that helps others. I loved Emmy’s innate goodness.
I adore this series! It has such a unique, entertaining concept. I have never read a paranormal MC club romance where the members are dead! Each member has an extraordinary power. The secondary characters are well-rounded; I can’t wait for their books! This is a fast-paced, easy-to-read, exciting romance. Inferno raised the high bar that Viking set in this fantastic series!
Would I read this author again? Yes, Andi Rhodes hooked me with Viking, and I love this series! If you are looking for a unique paranormal romance, you must try the Valhalla Rising series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book through the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
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.
Book 2 in the Valhalla Rising MC brings us the story of Inferno. This is not your classical MC style story as it brings us MC and the mythical side of Valhalla. Only those deemed worthy once they die go to Valhalla.
Inferno is a man chasing his demons, he is full of rage and anger. He and the rest of the Valhalla Rising MC are sent down to Earth to protect a woman, a woman that Inferno has a past with. There connection is a tragic one, a man who saves a little girl and goes to save others but in doing so his life is cut sort.
Emmy is caught up in her own dispair and trauma, that day is never far from her thoughts and dreams. Meeting Inferno, she feels a connection, she knows those eyes, but does she. Can Inferno protect Emmy and can these two give into their feelings.
Another great story from Andi Rhodes and addition to this series. Andi does such a great job with this MC series which is set apart from all the others that are out their.
They met thur a traumatic event, little did they know it would change their lives as they knew it. Emmy was saved and became a therapist, Inferno was killed, trying to save more children. Inferno being a hero and doing a selfless act, was taken to Valhalla and made immortal. Inferno is returned to the present day to save Emmy again, and to see if they are soulmates. Emmy is drawn to Inferno as no other and they are soon in a relationship. When inferno tells her about his past and being from Valhalla and Odin, she knows he’s telling the truth. When the danger comes to her, again it is a soul from the past that is out to hurt her.for surviving. Emmy is killed and sent to Valhalla as a Valkarye and she and Inferno declared their love for each other. This series is getting better with each new book. Love it!
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!
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.
Infernos life ended the day he saved Emmy, but now she's in trouble and Odin has sent hin to protect her, but he looks exactly like he did that day all those years ago and Emmys no longer a child, both drawn to one another but is everything as it seems? Well written steamy paranormal, desires, twists and more
Dean Hastings saved Emmy from certain death as a child from her elementary school fire. Doing so he sacrificed himself. Now as a Valhalla warrior, Odin has sent him to save Emmy again as an adult. A couple of problems arise. First is he’s not sure what he’s protecting her from. Second, she recognizes him. While trying to do everything to keep her safe, they have several things to work through.
Loved Inferno and Emmy's story. Tragedy turns to everyday life until it doesn't. Return to Emmy's life and struggles and Inferno must figure out who is after her and where he stands in her life. They become very Hot and fiery together until tragedy strikes again but this time Inferno is there again but will he be in time. Quick read, page turner in the need to know what will happen next.
Second installment of the Valhalla Rising MC where the MC world is combined with Nordic mythology. What a great story about soulmates. Inferno, the man that dies saving Emmy’s life as a child, is sent back to protect her once again. Andi has such a creative mind. I love her unique stories and this was another hit out of the park!
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.
Emma and inferno are just wow! He’s dead and she knows it. But how can she be seeing him again? He can’t believe he’s being sent back to save her, but he doesn’t know what from. It’s up to him to figure it out. He’s not suppose to fall for a human.the thing is, he fell for her years ago. Will they be able to make things work? Will she run the other way when she finds out it’s really him?
Dean Haskins aka Inferno died whilst saving a young Emmaline from a fire in her school, years later she works as a trauma councillor but still has nightmares.
Odin sends Inferno and the guys down to earth to help Emmy when she starts to get threatening notes, he also tells Inferno she’s his Soulmate.
This novella packs a punch. Emotions rule this story. I swear, even for a novella, Andi can wring out tears. The love and caring of Inferno and Emmy jumps off the page and I could have read more of their story. I am loving this Vikings series.
Inferno left his human form when he died saving a little girl from a fire. Now she is an adult and in danger Odin sends Inferno and the Valhalla Rising MC to earth to protect her.
This series is a twist to normal MC stories, shorter stories but still full of drama, tension and action.
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.
Book two in the Valhalla Rising MC series. Emmy and inferno connect is amazing beautiful. Emmy has a tragic past that she can’t over come. Inferno welcomes her broken heart and heals it along the way. Great add on to this series.
He's dead and working for the God Odin. But he's assigned to protect his soul mate Emma. Who he saved as a child and died from the flames. A great follow up to book one.
This author did it again. I had already fallen in love, but now I am even more hooked! I could not put it down. This approach is one I have never experienced before and it makes it even better!- Tasha
Love Book 2. The mythology and characters in this series are so interesting. Makes you think about all the things we are not sure exist in this world. Inferno and Emmy are truly meant for each other.
