Resumen del Editor

The devil you know is never the one you should trust.

Special Agent Patrick Collins is dispatched to Chicago, chasing a lead on the Morrigan’s staff for the joint task force. Needing a cover for his presence in the Windy City, Patrick is ordered to investigate a politician running for mayor. In the lead up to Election Day, not everything is what it seems in a city where playing to win means appeasing the gods first and the electorate second.

But Chicago brings its own set of problems outside the case: a standoffish local god pack, a missing immortal, and Patrick’s twin sister. Fighting Hannah and the Dominion Sect provides Patrick with a sinister reminder that some blood ties can never be cut.

Left behind in New York City, Jonothon de Vere finds himself targeted by hunters who will go through anyone to kill him - including the packs under his protection. With a bounty on his head, Jono is forced to make a choice that Patrick would never approve of. Doing so risks breaking the trust he’s built with the man he loves, but not acting will give the rival New York City god pack leverage Jono can’t afford to give up.

When Patrick and Jono reunite in Chicago, Patrick must confront the fraying of a relationship he’s come to rely on for his own sanity. But fixing their personal problems will have to wait - because Niflheim is clawing at the shores of Lake Michigan and the dead are hungry.

A Vigil in the Mourning is a 102,000 word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to A Crown of Iron & Silver. Listening the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.

Not when I have you

Boy oh boy, is this book even more action packed or what?!?! Our boys are on a new adventure of their lives. Patrick is in Chicago for a new case for SOA and he’s also working for another one for Norn’s. He’s one busy detective and as always, upon his arrival to Chicago, he realized that he has one again bitten more than he can chew off. Meanwhile, Jono is back on New York facing his own problems. Knight Hunter’s has targeted him as their next project and they won’t relent and stop until he dies. And as always, Patrick is being kept in the dark by Jono and imagine how furious he’ll be when he finally finds out.

I mean this book is one exciting, action-packed and smooth read. We see the stronger bond between Jono and Patrick as well as how exciting this whole scenario is. I swear I’ll never get enough of these adrenaline filled and blood pumping battles and I love how trusting and loving Jono and Patrick are towards each other. And I love my darling Wade. He’s just so precious! All in all, loved the whole book and I’m counting the days when I’ll get next book in series on audio. Also, Gary Furlong did a spectacular job performing bff of the story. Gary you rock! 😉❤️

PATRICK AND JONO! LOVE THIS SERIES!

After reading and listening to the first book in this series there was no way I was going to miss any additional books! So . . . I have purchased and listened to books 1 through 5 so far and have enjoyed all of them.

Some of the reviewers have not cared much for the narrator . . . I found that he is perfect for this series!

This entire series will be a re-listen for me.

I highly recommend!

Twists, turns and hard choices

It's February and the case Patrick is handling this time takes him to Chicago where the Norse Pantheon is making his life hard.

This time Patrick doesn't promise his life to anyone BUT it's time for Jono to make some unwise choices ending up with him getting hurt and not being completely healed when Patrick calls him and asks Jono to go to him because Patrick needs him. That's something that Patrick discovers when Eir, one of the Valkyries, asks Jono if he wants her to heal him. Once Patrick learns how and with what he got hurt the have their first fight which is an epic one. And that is the point where some of the insecurities in their relationship for both parties come forward and will be completely healed close to the end of the book with a major breakthrough from Patrick's side.

The pack advances in alliances throughout the story both in NY and Chicago, Patrick is going through the ringer when he discovers that there's still the smallest of connection in his soul between him and his twin and also from what he discovers when he examines a ritual involving her.

Twists, turns and hard choices are what is following him and the ones that have become his family.

And of course Gary Furlong FTW!!!

P.S.: Hailey loves her gore!

Love this!

A Vigil in the Mourning is book 4 in the Soulbound series and should be enjoyed in order. If you enjoy urban fantasy you don't want to miss this amazing series. In this book the relationship between Patrick and Jono is tested, boundaries are crossed and Wade just can't get enough to eat. There is so much going on but it's not hard to follow. Narrator Gary Furlong does an absolutely amazing job in bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend this amazing book and series.

wow

Said this before and will say it again this series gets better with each and every addition!
Frigging Norse gods are even more of a pain than was expecting them to be. Patrick is taken to Chicago for work, and when his past once again catches up with him, he calls Jono in for help (see growth). Meanwhile, back in New York, Jono is having trouble with his own poor decisions are made that will affect all of the God pack. The tale becomes more and more entwined with each book with a peaceful ending, not in sight yet. And for one, I can't wait to keep going to see if and when they do find it.


Gary Furlong once again brings these books to life cannot even begin to say how much I love these

It just keeps getting better!

I (im)patiently waiting for this book to come out on audio. I've read the ebook version and I knew the audio version would take the action to the next level. I was not disappointed. Patrick was out of town for work this time and Wade came with him. I adore Wade more each book, but in this one, he really showed his badass side. Jono, strong and Patrick's rock, as always. I just love the two of them together. They keep getting stronger, their pack as well. Hailey did amazing with the battle scene in this book. It's so good, I felt bad for the city of Chicago!
I can't wait for more adventures of Patrick and Jono and I keep hoping that maybe in the next book, Patrick will say 'it' back to Jono. It's a thing now for me.
Gary Furlong definitely brought this book to life!

** thanks for GRR for the opportunity to listen and review **

Excellent story!

Wow! This was really a stupendous read. The only thing that stopped me for giving it 5 stars was Wade, that had me cringing once and again any time his whiny, self-absorbed self made an apparition. I guess he is supposed to be a comic relief kind of character, but he really gets on my nerves.

But the story? Oh, the story is simply fantastic! I loved the whole lesson on pack's politics, and having the thunder gods hanging together was... interesting to say the less *laughs*

This book has a lot of action. And I mean A LOT! Which would have made very difficult to stop reading, so I'm really happy that I went with the audiobook, which allowed me to go with my daily chores while still listening to it :P

The separation between Patrick and Jono at the beginning of the story made for an interesting dynamic, and highlighted how raw are still things between these two after having been thrown into a soul-bound designed by the gods that rule over their fates.

I've come to really love this series, and I'm looking forward to the next book.

As always, Gary Furlong's narration was really good.

I NEED MORE POPTARTS! 🤪 I ❤️ Wade & this Series!

MMy Thoughts and Review:

Turner and Furlong took me on another twisty pantheon inspired roller-coaster ride that left my guts in my throat at times. As with each story, Turner weaves an Urban Fantasy birthed in the nightly fires-side tales of our ancestors. In "A Vigil in the Mourning," our favorite NYC God pack comes face to face with the All-Father, Odin himself, along with his pantheon entourage.
Because the Norse gods are the stars of this novel, Jono's secret becomes more widely known, making some in his pack, including his mate, very upset. There is so much going on, and Jono and Patrick and their pack are still in a turf war in NYC, all while trying to prevent Ragnarok in Chicago. EEP!! 🤯

This series has everything a person could want. If you are into Paranormal...GOT IT! If you are looking for Romance...SMOKIN' HAWT IT IS!! Are you an Action-Adventure fan...NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!! Does Urban Fantasy do it for you...NO PANTHEON CAN HIDE FROM HAILEY TURNER'S PEN!!!! Do you enjoy Poptarts...Well MMy friend, WADE'S GOT POPTARTS IN SPADES!!!!! *giggle...sorry, just a Lil "pack" humor.

The ebooks are good, but Furlong puts a spin on them with his different inflections and accents that are astounding. The entertainment value I get from this dynamic book series narrated by such a superb narrator just makes my already crazy-active imagination bounce around my brain like a pinball in an old pinball machine, complete with flashing lights, buzzers, bells, and chimes. By the end of each book, all I can say is I've experienced multiple story-gasms. No better entertainment.

I received an audio copy of this book from GRR in exchange for my review.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌈

Wonderful narration.

This series of books is amazing. Unfortunately I’ve not listened to any of the books in the series before this one. The narration by Gary Furlong was excellent. To hear Jono and Patrick come to life was very nicely done. Wade was perfect (he was really the reason I wanted to listen to this one so bad). Very easy to listen to distinctive voices. The following review is similar to the book version.


Patrick is a mage, his partner Jono is a God pack werewolf. They are soulbound, which allows Patrick to access external magic again. Something they have to keep secret. They both strive to take care of their pack. Doing what ever they need to do to keep everyone safe. Sometimes at the expense of their own relationship.

Another fine addition to the series. Surprises, twists, assassins, gods of the good and bad variety, a very hungry dragon (probably my favorite in the books), and two men who just shouldn’t keep secrets.

By now the world building is fairly established but there were some revelations I wasn’t expecting. I liked the Valkyrie’s and their steeds. I couldn’t help but fit a movie stars face to one of the characters. And his part of the narration only added to the feelings.

The narration was really well done.

Love I’m truly in love

As I said, I’m truly in love with this series. Hate to see it end
