Wolves: I Bring the Fire Part I
In the middle of America, Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She’s being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…
In this urban fantasy tale a nice midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

Monsters: I Bring the Fire Part II
After being attacked by a serial killer, saved by Loki — so-called God of Mischief, Lies and Chaos — dragged to Alfheim, losing every cent in her bank account, and caring for her grandmother, Amy Lewis has lost her scholarship to veterinary school. But it’s alright. She has a plan. If she manages to keep her day job as a receptionist, and her night job as a vet tech, she may be able to get her scholarship reinstated and save enough money for the dreaded ‘miscellaneous fees.’
Too bad her day boss is unbearable…
Agent Steve Rogers has political aspirations, but when a suitcase nuke turns out to be something much worse and so-called Norse gods start showing up in his life, he has a priority shift.
Meanwhile, Loki’s priorities and plans haven’t changed at all. He wants Asgard to burn. Of course, earthly pleasures can be so distracting.
These three disparate characters have little in common, but they’ll have to join forces to save earth from trolls, wyrms, frost giant invasions, and an old evil growing beneath Chicago’s streets.

Chaos: I Bring the Fire Part III
In this final installment of the Cera story arc, the noose around Loki’s neck is tightening. Gerðr, the frost giantess, wants him dead; Cera, the World Seed, wants his head—literally and figuratively; the FBI wants him in Guantanamo; and an old friend from Asgard wants to bring him home…whether Loki likes it or not.
Things can’t get any worse, but when Loki’s involved, it’s certain they will. In the third chapter of I Bring the Fire, humanity’s demons are unleashed on the Nine Realms and Amy Lewis and Steve Rogers get front row seats.
Chaos might be their only hope.

In the Balance: An I Bring the Fire Novella
Chaos can never really be destroyed …
Loki, God of Chaos, gave Amy Lewis all his memories, and one request before he saved the universe. “Remember for me.”
Amy knows Loki will find her, one way or another … eventually. But as the weeks have ticked by she’s lost hope.
Called into the FBI headquarters to identify a magical artifact, she gets the opportunity to find Loki for herself. In doing so, she tips the scales of not one, but two universes, and has to choose for herself what form she wants Chaos to take.
The fate of the Nine Realms is in the balance, and this time it is in Amy’s hands.

A good read with a twist, the main characters leave a heartfelt feeling and you can’t help rooting for them.
I enjoyed the books in the series. I have yet to read volumes five and six. I plan to do this. Highly recommended.
The author takes the old tales of the Norse gods and relates them to today’s personal problems.
Interesting plot. Author seems to get lost towards the end and the main characters don’t do much other than sleep together.
I enjoyed the character, Loki, but wonder why the female lead character had to have sex with him.
I really liked the different twist on stories about the old God’s! You get to know them as if you’re hanging out, having a beer as friends!
The I bring the fire series is wonderful. You fall in love with Amy and Loki and their crew. I love the fantasy lands, the memories of Chaos, and the action in Chicago and on Earth in general. A page turner from beginning to end. Pretty much like every book by C. Gockel, you are going to want to read more, even after you’re done reading! I love that she has actual mythology, dinosaur names and other facts mixed into the story. It makes it a more believable story when there are items in it that you’ve hear about outside of reading the books. Must read!
It was a good enough story line, imaginary, with apparent heavy research into the Norse God’s. The language was a turn off for me, too many f bombs, which is the only reason I wouldn’t recommend it.
This would be great for people who are into the mythological heroes. I finally had to abandon the book, because it was going nowhere fast.
No real story in the first book and I just skimmed it.
Likable characters and I liked the premise but I found myself loosing interest about 2/3’s in. I finished it just to see how it ended. I was ok but nothing I would re-read!
The grammer was terrible and overall just did not care for it
Didn’t like the characters, story went on too long.
Good characters
Really enjoyed the series, but each book leaves you hanging so you need to buy more.
I enjoy reading about the society surrounding mythical gods.
