I Bring the Fire

An unlikely partnership drives C. Gockel's urban fantasy series forward, pairing a practical Midwestern woman with Loki, the Norse god of mischief, in a collision of worlds that is equal parts witty and dangerous. Amy Lewis has no interest in divine entanglements, but circumstances leave her with few options when a trickster god needs an ally as much as she needs a protector. Together they navigate a world where ancient powers operate just beneath the surface of modern life, and where trusting the wrong person could prove fatal.

Barrie Kreinik's narration is a strong fit for the material, handling both the comedic timing of Loki's irreverence and the genuine tension of Amy's predicament with consistent range. The 3h 25m runtime moves efficiently, reflecting Gockel's propulsive pacing. Kreinik differentiates the cast well, giving each character a distinct presence without overplaying any single voice, making the audio format feel like the natural home for this story.
