“Nina Yndis stylishly narrates Icelandic volcanologist Anna Arnardóttir's race against time to save all that is dear to her when new activity in previously dormant volcanoes creates imminent danger to those around her. Yndis's authentic-sounding pronunciation of place and character names helps conjure the ambiance of Iceland, and her warm tone and perfect pacing keep the listener engaged throughout. Her strong characterizations are key because the novel, more suspense than mystery, is filled with long, unfamiliar-sounding names that will be difficult for many listeners to follow. The combination of Yndis's flawless narration and an unusual mystery results in an engaging listen.” —AudioFile Magazine

“Actress, producer, and narrator Nina Yndis skillfully brings out the tension that runs throughout. Her Icelandic accent adds a note of authenticity to this already riveting story. Björnsdóttir's steamy thriller should appeal to readers of romantic suspense and cataclysmic fiction and to anyone interested in learning about the geology and history of Icelandic volcanoes. Share with fans of Ragnar Jonasson's Outside or Harry Turtledove's Supervolcano Explosion.” —Library Journal

“This fiercely wrought thriller from Björnsdóttir perfectly balances science and psychology…Björnsdóttir smoothly integrates geological and historical information about Iceland’s volcanos into the action. This explosive tale of adulterous passion is not just for Scandi noir fans.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
