Soulbound, Book 2

By: Hailey Turner

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's Summary

You can’t bargain with death if you’ve already sold your soul.
 

Special agent Patrick Collins has been reassigned by the supernatural operations agency to New York City. Navigating his new relationship with Jonothon de Vere, the werewolf he’s now soulbound to, is nothing compared to dealing with territorial disputes between the vampires and werecreatures who call the five boroughs home. But the delicate treaties that have kept the preternatural world in check are fraying at the edges, and the fallout is spilling into the mundane world.
 

Manhattan’s club scene is overrun with the vampire drug known as shine and the subways have become a dumping ground for bodies. When the dead are revealed as missing werecreatures, Patrick and Jono find themselves entangled in pack politics twisted by vampire machinations.
 

Learning to trust each other comes with problems for both of them, and the gods with a stake in Patrick’s soul debt aren’t finished with him yet. Bound by promises they can’t break, Patrick and Jono must find a way to survive a threat that takes no prisoners and is stalking them relentlessly through the city streets.
 

Old and new betrayals are coming home to roost but the truth - buried in blood - is more poisonous than the lies being spun. Trying to outrun death is a nightmare - one Patrick may never wake up from.
 

All Souls Near & Nigh is a 104,000 word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to A Ferry of Bones & Gold, and listening to the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one. Please see the disclaimer at the beginning of the book for content some listeners may find triggering.

Loved it more than Book 1!

I LOVE this more than the first book! We get to know more about Jono. He's thisclose to being perfect! His relationship with Patrick has gotten more complex with the soul bond, and their small pack. I enjoy the gradual pace of their relationship, where they're discovering how one meant that much to the other. Of course, Jono being a protective growly alpha wolf is just all sort of awesome. I love how Patrick isn't a helpless partner too. His magic is strong, even stronger with Jono's "assistance". What's more interesting is that I learned a lot more in this book, the Aztec mythology is completely new to me, it fascinated me. The appearance of The Coyote was a great plot twist too. Vampire turf war. Aztec gods going cray. This book was one crazy ride and I cannot wait for book 3! As always, Gary Furlong's narration was excellent.

fantastic supernatural ride!

this series has got me hooked! I love all of the characters and the two main characters (Patrick and Jono) have such an interesting Bond. The new evil in this book was good! it led in well for us to know more about the vampire group of town. The love scenes were steamy and the narrator did a fantastic job. overall well done! Can't wait for the next book!

Wonderful Series

Hailey Turner has done it again!! This is hands down one of the best series that I’ve read this year and I have read a lot. The second book was just is wonderful as the first; storyline and character development are dead one. Patrick and Jono are just perfect and the supporting characters are great as well. Listen.. trust me!!

Hit all the right notes

I love the second book so much can't wait to keep going on with this series!

PATRICK AND JONO ARE BACK! LOVED IT!

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!

Loved it! Great series

Have read all the books and am enjoying the audio versions. Gary Furlong does a great job though at various points the voices of different characters sounded too similar and it was a little confusing. Not often and he does a good job with the various accents and the complicated pronunciations.

magic and bureaucracy

I enjoy the mixture of magic and bureaucracy and the continuing love affair between the two leads and it rather droll delivery of the main characters.

Lots of werewolf/ vampire politics

This book was still very good and introduced some interesting new characters, but I liked the first better. The police case, magic crime-fighting, sassy gods, and romantic development that made the first book so great were not as prominent. All of those elements were present, but everything seemed to be overshadowed by territory negotiations, discussions of appropriate tithing, various hierarchies meeting to fight for relative power transfers, displays of submission, etc., etc., etc.... I'm still going to get the next one. I hope the new gods introduced stick around!

Just Amazing

The author and narrator did such a great job at keeping me on the edge of my seat while listening. The performance gave such life to already well written characters, the plot was amazingly written and executed, the fantastical and human aspects well truly well balanced and, overall, it was an amazing experience. I can't wait to continue the series!

Great Series

There's just so much happening in these books, I'm blown away by her world building and I love the "detective"/mystery aspect of it too. ITs a well thought out, unique world, with a fantastic storyline and romance. What more do you want? I really think Gary was the perfect narrator for these! the more I listen to him the more I love him

Epic, detailed, otherworldly!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟 4.5 stars 🔥🔥🔥 Heat Level: 4 🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 4.5 Epic, detailed, otherworldly!!! Hailey is in her own world with her creations and this is no exception. I love Jono and Patrick.  The story follows on from book 1 and the world is detailed, dynamic and at times complicated but Hailey's writing draws you in and enraptures you. So many questions need answering and while on this epic adventure even more questions pop up. I love the back and forth between Jono and Patrick as they navigate their new soulbound and unsanctioned pack they have formed. We learn more about both men and I love that Jono's alpha and powerful nature is finally able to take hold and he is able to take action against the current God Pack alphas.  The story is an intricate web and you never know what's going to happen next. Some great new characters are introduced and we see all the original favorites. I look forward to seeing where Hailey will take us next.  If you're looking for a new world to dive into, with adventure, darkness, steam, and dynamic characters that will keep to on your toes, then look no further than this series. It will enthrall you!!! I'm loving it! Thanks for reading!

Very good sequel!

This is such a good story arc, especially if you like ancient mythology. This picks up from book one. The world building continues with some more gods, vamps and werepeople giving Patrick grief :) Here we see more of Jono and Patrick's burgeoning relationship; they make a great team, (with a few others), and a great couple. Loved this action-packed and brilliant sequel. Gary Furlong is a really good voice for the series - it's hard for me to believe he's the same person that does an awesome Scottish accent! He coneys Patrick's snark and other humourous parts of the story so well. But really, he voices all the different characters (and there are a few), so well, there is no trouble knowing who is speaking at the time. This is definitely a series I will continue to follow!

Great

I really enjoyed this book. The story is engaging and had me hooked from the very beginning. Great writing, great narration, this is a really great audiobook.

This series just gets stronger

Another excellent edition to the series. Patrick and Jono are living together but independent were creatures are turning up dead and between a promise to a vampire, a God pack not doing their job, and several new gods, their lives are never going to be boringly domestic. A thrilling story with excellent use made of existing gods who in the version of Earth walk among us. Super relationship development, all the old secondary characters as well as some new ones, and just that hint at the end that this story isn't over yet. Can't wait for the next one.

Here be dragons?

I love this second book in Hailey Turner's Soulbound series and Gary Furlong continues to do an excellent job of bringing Patrick, Jono and the rest of the packs to life. This time it seems to be South American/Aztec gods that are at the instigators of Patrick's current case. This was another thrilling tale as Patrick and Jono forge their relationship into something even stronger than before. There are a lot of problems within the were-shifter community and they only escalate as hidden truths begin to emerge. Highly recommended for all lovers of Paranormal MM romance thrillers. I can't wait for book 3!!

fantastic

I can't waite to listen to the next book ... the narator is perfect keep them coming please
