A Ferry of Bones & Gold

Soulbound, Book 1

By: Hailey Turner

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

When the gods come calling, you don’t get to say no.

Patrick Collins is three years into a career as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency when the gods come calling to collect a soul debt he owes them. An immortal has gone missing in New York City and bodies are showing up in the wake of demon-led ritual killings that Patrick recognizes all too easily from his nightmares.

Unable to walk away, Patrick finds himself once again facing off against mercenary magic users belonging to the Dominion Sect. Standing his ground alone has never been a winning option in Patrick’s experience, but it’s been years since he’s had a partner he could trust.

Looking for allies in all the wrong places, Patrick discovers the Dominion Sect’s next target is the same werewolf the Fates themselves have thrown into his path. Patrick has been inexplicably attracted to the man from their first meeting, but desire has no place in war. That doesn’t stop Patrick from wanting what he shouldn’t have. Jonothon de Vere is gorgeous, dangerous, and nothing but trouble - to the case, to the fight against every hell, and ultimately, to Patrick’s heart and soul.

In the end, all debts must be paid, and Patrick can only do what he does best - cheat death.

Urban Fantasy Romance at its best

This is one of those series that is getting better and better with every re-listen since there's a lot of things going on, there's a lot of world-building and info given and for me something more sticks every time in my memory that I previously missed, discovering just how much work has gone into the story.

It's June and Patrick Collins comes to New York for a case that the chief of Police made an appeal to the SoA, the alphabet agency Patrick is working for after leaving the Mage Corps (military).

The case will take him to meet Marek who is a seer and affiliated with the Tempest Pack. After their quite disastrous meeting, Patrick will go to the Tempest (the pack's bar) to talk with him but sparks will fly and chemistry will ignite between him and Jonothon de Vere.

This is the beginning of their story and how Jono slowly but surely will strive to curb Patrick's bad tendencies towards self-preservation.

Gary Furlong did an amazing job narrating with distinct voices between MCs so you never had to wonder who was talking, a great pace and getting emotions across.

Increíblemente genial

Comencé a leer el libro antes de conseguirme el audiolibro. No había ni terminado el capitulo 10 cuando vi una publicidad del audiolibro y me dije que tenía que hacerme también con él. A demás de que con él precio del whispersync terminó siendo una ganga.

Increíble la historia, increíble el narrador, definitivamente continuaré con las siguientes entregas.

Wow

WOW, fantasy, supernatural, sexy, a MUST read for an adult book about werewolves, vampires and gods!

Really worth a try!

The system of magic is very interesting and what you see in the first book leaves you wanting to see more magic and get answers about how it works. I always enjoy an urban fantasy with characters that feel like real people living in a fully described world, and this book definitely set up great characters and an interesting world close enough to ours that you can picture self right in it.

Great Story

I liked the book but could wish the narration was a bit more animated and less deadpan
