Blurb/Summary:
Who
doesn’t love a good swap meet? You find tons of great stuff you don’t need, but
hey, sometimes someone else’s trash just speaks to you, amiright?
Some
things a little louder than others…
As
in, some things actually “speak.”
Dominique
Acosta should know. One minute she’s just living her life, spending time with
her grandpa in his memory care facility, and the next thing, everyone’s
questioning her mental health after she starts shouting “THOR!” uncontrollably,
without warning—in a drugstore.
All
thanks to a talking hammer she spotted at a swap meet.
Which
then showed up in her kitchen…
So
who do you turn to when you now own a talking hammer and you can’t stop
randomly screaming the name of a Norse God everywhere you go? OOPS, of course!
And Nina, Wanda and Marty come running.
And
hot on their heels?
Harvey
Larsen—huge, handsome, and apparently, the hammer’s babysitter. Oh, and he’s
also Thor’s son? Yes. That Thor.
(More on that particular god’s prolific baby-making abilities later.)
Apparently,
Dom’s been chosen to protect Midgard (Earth to mere mortals) and rule Asgard.
As it happens, she’s the only person on the planet who can pick the hammer up.
Lucky her…
But
the hammer’s hot property, and everyone wants to get their paws on it. So
Harvey and the girls from OOPS will have to train this reluctant warrior how to
wield such a powerful weapon quickly, if she stands any chance of getting out
of this alive…
And
saving the entire world…
Review:
Loved the creative license Dakota Cassidy took with Thor and Asgard. The OOPS ladies were in top form in this installment. I also enjoyed seeing characters brought in from past stories. It solidifies the notion of Framily that the OOPS women have created with their altruism. Not sure how they have time for their own families with all the volunteering they do. Would love to see a “week in the life” of these women. Do they ever sleep?
Dominique Acosta is adorable and devoted to her grandfather. She is all things good and protective. Dominique is worthy of wielding Thor’s hammer and so much more. Dominique and Harvey Larsen, Thor’s son, make a cute couple. Harvey has issues with his parental figure and a side of drama.
As with past Accidentals the OOPS ladies rally with all their might and Harvey is swept up in the commotion and preparations. Harvey helps Dominique become the warrior that Asgard needs and in doing so discovers things about himself.
I laughed out loud and enjoyed the
story immensely!
