Autumn Bones

Agent of Hel, Book 2

De: Jacqueline Carey

Narrado por: Johanna Parker

Fathered by an incubus, raised by a mortal mother, and liaison to the Pemkowet Police Department, Daisy Johanssen pulled the community together after a summer tragedy befell the resort town she calls home. Things are back to normal - as normal as it gets for a town famous for its supernatural tourism, and presided over by the reclusive Norse goddess Hel.

Not only has Daisy now gained respect as Hel’s enforcer, she’s dating Sinclair Palmer, a nice, seemingly normal human guy. Not too shabby for the daughter of a demon. Unfortunately, Sinclair has a secret. And it’s a big one.

He’s descended from Obeah sorcerers and they want him back. If he doesn’t return to Jamaica to take up his rightful role in the family, they’ll unleash spirit magic that could have dire consequences for the town. It’s Daisy’s job to stop it, and she’s going to need a lot of help. But time is running out, the dead are growing restless, and one mistake could cost Daisy everything…

Too much meandering

This book covers the back story and rounds out the cast of characters. The mystery was not as engaging as the first book. I still like this author and this heroine so I’m going to read the next one.

I love this author!

I just haven't come across a book by Jacqueline Carey that I didn't like. This series is excellent and I loved this book. It helped immensely that Johanna Parker is one of my favorite narrators. There's nothing profound about the story; its just a good entertaining read. The characters are well realized and the narrator does a great job bringing them to life. I hope to see more for this series. Who would have thought Ghouls could be so interesting!

Great Book

The series so far is so great. However after doing some research before buying the 3rd and final book, I decided not to get it cause of who she ends up with.

Better and better.

Now I gave the last book, Dark Currents, what looks like the same rating, but I'd say this one was better than the last, inching towards 4.5/5 stars. Dark Currents was a solid 4/5 stars, well worth a listen. The story was what improved in my opinion, though perhaps there were sequences that were a bit drawn out, and those that were a bit short. So. Still, my enjoyment of Autumn Bones was greater. Now I'm going to listen to the 3rd book.....

Thank you Carey

love it. again Carey lives up to what I have come to expect. would love to hear more of Terre de'ange though
