Thor's Serpents

Thor's Serpents by K.L. Armstrong & M.A. Marr, 2015 Little, Brown & Company

     After Owen and his berserkers join the Blackwell kids and their collected demigods the group has a harder time hiding from Mayor Thorsen and the forces trying to bring about Ragnarok. Fen is tricked into taking control fo the wulfenkind pack he's been avoiding joining for years and becomes Loki's representative leading the monsters of Ragnarok.
     Laurie is stunned by her cousin's betrayal and even angrier when Owen saw it coming but didn't tell her. With Matt, Baldwin, Owen, and the twins, Laurie doesn't have time to resolve her feelings before another bombshell drops: Astrid is the Midgard Serpent.
     Matt is already worried about battling the Great Serpent when he discovers he'll have to fight a girl. That the girl is the one who killed Baldwin doesn't help matters. But Astrid doesn't want to fight Matt either, and she has a plan.
     But rules are rules and - although no one knows the rules - when rules are broken the game is changed, along with all the plans the children have made. When the final battle comes Fen, Laurie, Matt and their new friends fight against the end of the world as they know it.
     Thor's Serpents is the final book in the Blackwell Pages Trilogy. The young teens have worries bigger than starting school in September. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders and the young teens learn the value of trust, friendship, and believing in themselves.
