The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her. Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run. Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about him. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life READING ORDER: Runes (book 1) Immortals (book 2) Grimnirs (book 3) or Grimnirs: Clean Version Seeress (book 4) Souls (book 5) Witches (book 6) (Strangers to lovers, YA Paranormal romance, Teen fantasy, Teen romance, Coming of age, True love, HEA, illness, cancer, hope, Swimming, swim team, high school romance, witches, magic, runes, reapers, Norse mythology, YA sports romance, Valkyries, gods and goddesses) Review: Christina's Book Blog: Great characters and great storyline! - “True love transcends logic, Freckles. It’s a blending of minds and souls.” “It makes us feel and see things in ways that normal people don’t. You don’t question it or try to understand it. You just accept it for the gift it is. " The Plot When Raine’s swim team is hit with a case of misfortune she starts to suspect that the new members in town have something to do with them. When she starts to notice the runes that are all around her she doesn’t act naïve and demands answers that she doesn’t get. The runes hold the answer to her questions but no one can reveal to her what they mean so for most of the book we spend it trying to figure them out. Along the way Raine must deal with her connection to all the events going on and her guilt over the horror that has befallen her swim team. As well as the loss of her father, her love for her best friend and her growing feelings for her neighbor. The Characters Raine was such a wonderful heroine. She lives a typical normal teenage life. The only issues she has to deal with his her missing father and her crush on her best friend. But she is like any teenage girl and she enjoys her life. When the mysterious Torin St. James moves next door his cockiness and arrogance makes her furious but she doesn’t let him get to her. She was feisty and fought back when she needed to but always sweet and caring of those she loved. Torin was just GREAT! He comes off as an arrogant bad ass but there is so much more to him. He has a destiny that he didn’t know he was choosing and has been living with the repercussions for eternity. When he moves next door to Raine he knows what his job is and holds no attachments to anything. That of course changes when he actually meets his new neighbor and is she doesn’t fall for his charm. So although it’s against the rules Torin breaks all of them realizing that his need to protect Raine transcends it all. Like every girl in this book you will definitely swoon for Torin and fall in love with him as you learn more about him and his story. Some of the secondary characters are equally as wonderful. Cora and Eirik are Raine’s best friend and through it all they are her biggest supporters. They all look out for each other and are there for each other through all the good and bad times. The Romance Okay so this book has a bit of a love triangle. Something I detest. But I like when there is really no competition just indecision. I adored Eirik, Raine’s best friend, he was caring and protective of her. It takes him a long time to get the nerve to finally take things to the next level but when he does he is wonderful. Unfortunately, he seemed very distant at times and secretive. I have my questions about him and wonder what his part is in this whole storyline. Now Torin on the other hand was no match for Eirik. The moments between him and Raine were so intense and so funny. They both fought and loved passionately when together. The chemistry between them engulfed the pages and had you wanting more of them. So when things don’t turn out great or when they try to fight what is growing between them it is a sad and frustrating. The Wrap-Up I was blown away by the storyline and characters! Runes was a great start to this series and I can’t wait to continue! This book has great characters, a great storyline and a great cliffhanger that has me wanting to read more! If you are a fan of YA Paranormal Romance this is the series for you! Pick it up now! Happy Reading! Review: Love this series - This book is FREE! It’s a mythological YA. I love these books; they are so fun to read. Raine is a forceful character and I love how the book doesn’t really center too much on just her. It really shows all aspects of her friends and family as well. She is very involved in her life, and looks to her future without seeming too mature for a seventeen year old. It shows in the writing how she truly cares about things outside of herself. She may seem a bit dense sometimes but I think that was intentional. One thing that stuck out for me was the two love interests in this book. They have an opposites attract thing going on; which makes for better story telling IMO. Eirik is sweet and almost like a beta-alpha if that makes sense. He cares for Raine but doesn’t try to take over her life. He respects her and gives her space. He is there for her when she needs someone to lean on. I love Cora, she is spunky and fun. She helps to keep Raine from taking life too seriously. We all need a friend like Cora. Torin is mysterious yet can’t seem to help himself when it comes to Raine. He likes to stir the pot and get Raine all riled up for no other reason than to see her get flustered. Their verbal foreplay is awesome and it really makes the tender moments that much more poignant. The plot in this book is pretty intricate I think. I realized after reading it a second time that I missed some things. This is definitely a book you need to pay attention too. The mythology in this book is profound but written in a way that it doesn’t hurt you head too much. I appreciate the background done to make this book more three dimensional. There is more than one plot and they all seem to intertwine making it a bit hard to understand at times. If you like mythology, I would recommend this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,121 Free in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #2 in Teen & Young Adult Norse Myths & Legends eBooks #68 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal Romance eBooks #85 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal & Urban Fantasy eBooks | ## Images ![Runes: A runes Novel (Runes series Book 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OQFrrXJzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christina's Book Blog: Great characters and great storyline! *by K***R on May 8, 2014* “True love transcends logic, Freckles.

I was not disappointed. I give the book five stars because that is the highest allowed but it is much more. This is a book I would recommend to young readers because the characters are well developed and the main character has to deal with many changes in her life and in the face of this and magical events Raine shows a strength of character at seventeen that many adults do not show. It also delves into the Norse mythology which might be a great introduction to a person’s heritage. It has action and romance and lots of twists and turns to keep even the most relutent reader turning pages. It is probably on about a seventh grade level if I had to guess based on the vocabulary and content. Raine, the main character, must deal with the disappearance of her father, her mother’s weirdness, her friends possibly moving away and the mysterious handsome boy next door, who seems to know more about her than she does herself. If his handsome good looks and motorcycle aren’t enough to turn a girl’s head, Torin, the hottie next door, saves her life using strange markings which intrigues and frightens her. Raine and Torin share a heritage filled with gods and warriors and runes that can heal, predict the future, etc. Torin’s past is not really developed in this book but I am hoping that is part of the plan for future stores. We do learn he is defiantly not seventeen. He drove a motorcycle and spoke well more like a sage than a handsome leading teenager. I found myself in love with this character even though at first I thought he was going to be the villain that leads Raine astray. Raine’s other friends Eirk and Cora are will developed characters not just thrown in to move the story along, which is a challenge in a young adult book. The author maintains a great balance of developing characters, settings, and plot development without being too wordy. Raine and Eirk seemed to have that fickle young girl and male friend relationship going on (your my brother, Erik who? And do I want him as a boyfriend). It made Raine real to me. I enjoyed the romance which was steamy without being smutting. Love triangles always make for great conflict in a story and this is no expectation. The story’s plot is so wonderfully rich with snippets of information about Valkyries, and other such discovers that to do more than exclaim “read this book” would give it all away. I will say for a young girl bent on revenge she is very logical in her allies. I like that even the evil guys are utilized to exact her revenge. The story is filled with page turning action and mystery. Raine must choose a side and fight for this way of life she was flung into head first when he moved next door. The series seems to hold a lot of potential and I think once I read the next book I will understand even more about the characters and the mythology as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114065999-runes-a-runes-novel-runes-series-book-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114065999-runes-a-runes-novel-runes-series-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
