Life and Limb

Blood and Bone, Book 1

De: Jennifer Roberson

Narrado por: Kevin Stillwell

A biker and a cowboy must stop the apocalypse in the first book of the Blood and Bone modern western fantasy series.

His voice was rich, a much loved baritone, as he handed his seven-year-old grandson a gun.

“It’s time we had a talk, you and I. You won’t remember it, but you need to know it, and one day, when it’s time, I’ll call it up in you. You’ll know who you are, and what you’re intended to do. You’ll be a soldier, boy. Sealed to it. Life and limb, blood and bone. Not a soldier like others are, for it’s not the kind of war most people fight on earth. But because we’re not ‘most people,’ you and I, it will be far more important. The fate of the world will hinge upon it.”

Now no longer that wide-eyed child, Gabe is fresh out of prison, a leather-clad biker answering Grandaddy’s peremptory summons to, of all places, a cowboy bar in Northern Arizona. He is about to find out just how different he is from “most people” - and to meet the stranger with whom he will be sealed: life and limb, blood and bone, conscripted to fight an unholy war unlike any other.

For the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

When he does.

And Gabe, thrown into the unlikely company of a country-music-loving rodeo cowboy from West Texas, an ancient Celtic goddess of war, an African Orisha who sings volcanoes awake, a Chinese goddess of mercy, Nephilim, and Grigori, finds himself fighting a battle he was bred for, but wants no part of.

Supernatural

Do anybody think this don't sound like supernatural supernatural I mean 2 guys brothers brothers mystic brothers it's a yes supernatural this on another name other than that good start line

Interesting story line

while the story line to me was interesting, it can come across like a person trying real hard to show thier education. the cowboy isms were odd and far too many for me, I just wanted it to stop.

Slow build, great world building

I really enjoyed the take on urban fantasy. Loved how the author brought in the country western cowboy vibe. It gives this story something a little different than many of its breed.
I felt the story was some what slow in talking off, with overwhelming disbelief from Gab and not very much from his partner Remi at all. This was annoying to me because we are told that Gab is meant to be the leader (alpha) but in the first half of the book he seems a step behinds Remi, despite them entering the supernatural world at the same time.
Remi and Gab start off seeming like total opposites but the story brings them together in a fun and believable way.
All around a pretty good book.

Rich and entertaining

I had very low expectations from this title as it was included in the Audible Plus and those can be pretty much hit or miss. This book was very very good. The characters Remy and Gabe are endearing and thoroughly human. Since I can also be a Netflix binger, I was pleasantly surprised to find elements similar to "Lucifer" and "Supernatural." I felt immediate kinship :)
Highly recommend!

Good vs Not so Good
