Ragnarok happened. Survivors converged on earth many millennia ago, breeding and blending with humans. Now, a secret battle of bloodlines is being waged in the shadows of the real world.

Raine Thoren became a Shadow Guardian to protect non-magical humans from threats they aren't even aware of. But the latest killer on the loose has stealth and power unlike any adversary she's faced. She won't be able to bring this one down alone.

FBI Special Agent Will Decker prefers to work by himself. When a mysterious woman saves his life, she's suddenly assigned to work with him in his quest to track an elusive killer. The more he learns about his new partner, Raine, and what demons lurk in shadows, the more fantasy becomes reality.

If they're going to stop the demon and unravel prophecies of the future, they'll need to work as a team and unlock each others' hearts and untapped powers.

***Raine Down is the captivating first book in The Shadow Guardians urban fantasy romantic suspense series. If you like engaging characters, sizzling tension, and magic, then you'll love this series.***

I liked this book! The main characters are great, and I liked the little blurbs from the bad guy's point of view. Looking forward to reading more books in the series.

With an interesting fantasy concept involving Norse mythology which was intriguing.
Quite a few spell-check goofs (spared for sparred) and some missing words that you had to imagine to complete a sentence. Too much of a cozy for my liking.
Shows promise.

Bought into the Norse mythology and went with the flow for entertainment. I did not like the chapters dedicated to what foods they were eating, their budding romance and then the orgasmic connection. The author needs to decide what her storyline is and stick with it. Not reading any more of his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rule Number One: Don't kill anyone.
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2022
Raine is a Shadow Guardian hunting a known killer, Jor, when FBI Agent Will Decker appears. To prevent Will from being hurt by the demonic serpent, Raine intervenes by shooting Jor and being stabbed in the forearm. Jor was not mortally wounded and escaped. Will takes Raine to an emergency room for the stab wound, but the wound is gone. Since she had lost a lot of blood and passed out, Will takes her to a safe house. While he is asleep, Raine sneaks out of the house to see her mentor, Usha Bakshi. Less than a week later, Raine and Will are paired together as partners on an interagency case pursuing Jor.

Raine starts telling Will about the supernatural and nine realms when she notices that all of Jor’s victims are Vanir. Raine is puzzled when Will accepts her explanation of how she was able to heal herself. To complicate matters, Raine has begun to have feelings for Will. A man who never commits to any relationship, Will is confused by his need to gain Raine’s affection. Both of them do not show their feelings. They are complete opposites in how they solve cases as well. Raine has no issue with killing her opponent, whereas Will prefers to apprehend criminals. Will has a secret that he doesn’t reveal until the duo encounters Jor and nearly both nearly lose their lives. What is he hiding? Why is Jor targeting Vanir's descendants?

Raine Down is the first book in the Shadow Guardian series by C.B Samet. I found the story to be engaging and despite some of the supernatural elements, the dialogue is realistically depicted. The detail of the story is vivid, making it easy to envision every moment of the story. I definitely recommend this fantasy romance novel to anyone who likes an unpredictable story with strong lead characters. I plan on reading the rest of the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Norse Mythology Inspired Goodness!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
This story was delightful! I was intrigued when I read "Ragnarok happened." and I picked the story up to give it a whirl. I have been drawn to Norse Mythology lately, but finally decided to pick up a novel inspired by it and I'm so glad I took the chance. There is fantasy, adventure, MAGIC/PROPHECIES, and everything I enjoy with books. The author does a great job of integrating the Norse Gods and mythology into the book! They definitely made each realm/creature its own unique features!! I love meeting a character like Raine Thoren, who kicks some ass and doesn't take crap from anyone! Reading strong female leads is something I love doing, especially when the character is written well. Throughout the majority of the book, we journey with Raine and experience what it is like to be one of the secret Guardians. How they protect Midgard from the aftereffects of Ragnarok, and what that truly entails. We get a lens of an outsider with the FBI agent Will Decker who is committed to getting the job right within the terms of the law. He is thrust into this world when the two of them cross paths and the connection between them is instant. I think there was more focus on how these two interacted than the whole Ragnarok, but it was still a riveting novel. I would've liked more with Ragnarok explained, but maybe that comes with the following novels.

One of my favorite quotes belongs in Chapter 23, there is a moment where things are explained to Raine about this Shadow War, and the words exchanged are definitely going to be used to inspire my students; and were great for me as well! This author should be on your list to read! I'm looking forward to her upcoming novels and can't wait to see where prophecies take me!

“Ragnarok happened. Asgard and the nine realms fell. Millions were wiped out—Asgardians, Frost Giants, Dark Elves, Light Elves, Dwarves, Vanir. Those who survived hid on earth and bloodlines mingled,” Raine explained when the guacamole and chips arrived.

“A secret war was being waged, and both sides rarely took prisoners.”

Rain Down is the first book in The Shadow Guardians series by C.B. Samet. It is a engrossing, action-packed urban fantasy with a bit of a romantic suspense storyline. This story grabbed me right from the outset with the whole Shadow Guardian concept then add the serial killer/FBI component, mystery, suspense, danger, intrigue, crime and investigation, secrets, tension, prophecies, Norse mythology, agendas, chemistry, sizzle, magic, and plenty of adventure- made this story one I didn’t want to put down. This sets the series off to a fantastic start, and I am totally invested in reading the rest of the series as it releases.
Raine and Will were really great characters to follow and get to know. Even of I wanted to shake them at times because they frustrated me with their internal dialogue, or lack of communication.
Can’t wait for Storms Surge (Book #2) to release!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, C.B. Samet!

I picked this one up as a freebie on a SYKD, and honestly, it kinda slaps! I really enjoyed it - which is rare (I usually find freebies make their way to my DNF shelf).

I was thrown a little at how quickly Will became utterly enamored with Raine, and the resolution to Jor's demise seemed suspiciously anticlimactic, but all in all this was a pretty cool read.
