The Peacemaker: Aleksandra

Flight of the Night Witches #2

by Heidi Vanlandingham

Russian-Japanese pilot Aleksandra Rybakov searches for her place in the world and finds it as a Night Witch. After a fatal crash during the Battle of Kursk, she is offered a second life with the bonus of immortality by the Norse goddesses Freyja and Idunn, but there’s a catch. To defeat an army of monsters, she must find her courage and believe in herself or lose everyone she loves.

German resistance fighter Jakob Matthau saw his life ripped away when his parents were thrown into a Nazi death camp. Fueled by anger and vengeance, every battle he wins is one step closer to freeing his family. When the beautiful Night Witch Aleksandra introduces him to a world filled with magic and monsters, can they win the most difficult battle of their lives or will billions die in Hitler’s final solution?

This is a great book, mixing Norse mythology with Russian World War 2 history may not seem a classic idea but it works very well. Writing is super, characters are great and the storyline is entertaining. Can be read as a standalone but reading book one first would set the scene. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review

A force of special and supernatural agents work to defeat the Third Reich in Russia, raised up by the Norse goddesses Freyja and Idunn. They must prevent Hitler from destroying the world, and he also has mythical help and monsters. This is an exciting adventure into WW II like no other!
I adored the characters of Aleksandra and Jakob, who became stronger because of their love for each other.

Aleksandra Rybakov dies but is given a second chance to do the impossible, but she’ll need to dig deep for courage or lose all that she loves. As a Russian Japanese woman, Aleksandra straddles two worlds. She finds her destiny awaits her as a night witch. Dying at the Battle of Kursk wasn’t part of the plan. Norse goddesses offer her a second chance and possibly immortality. Joining forces with handsome resistance fighter Jakob Matthau, they must battle monsters in order to secure not only their own lives but billions of people before Hitler exterminates them. Will they succeed or will they fail?

The Peacemaker takes the reader on an unforgettable adventure filled with action, romance, and of course two Norse goddesses. The backdrop is WWII and yet again, Heidi Vanlandingham creates a fantastic world steeped in history. The hero is a tortured soul bent on vengeance while the heroine is trying to find her way in a world gone mad. It’s interesting to see these two not only fall in love but work through their fears. The plot is so well-paced, there were times when I would get caught up in the story. The writing is superb with plenty of emotional tension. The characters come alive and the reader is pulled into the story. I thoroughly enjoyed The Peacemaker and look forward to the next installment in the series. Highly recommend!

A great action and adventure, war story. An interesting blend of World War II history with Norse mythology. I particularly enjoyed Aleksandra's unassuming personality: always uplifting others. Her cohorts, Jakob, Natalya, and Mikhail added a lot of spice to the story. Unfortunately, the atrocities of the Nazi regime are a major part of that history. Heidi Vanlandingham did a good job of clearly showing how horrific those atrocities really were.

Action-packed. Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Happily Ever After. Romantic. Scary. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.
