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.

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!!

I'm addicted

I binged the first two books now in a week. I love the story, the world building, just about everything. I especially love the variety of pantheons being involved in the story. Its not just the famous gods from myths, but lesser known ones you might know of but probably not the name of.

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!

Soulbound!

I love the twists and turns within this action packed mythological series. The characters are amazing and full of witty one liners, strength, and compassion all brought to life by Gary Furlong’s wonderful narration.

It's Queer, It's Sexy - just don't expect a legend

If you read A Ferry of Bones & Gold, then you know what you're in for. It's a fantasy novel set in New York City starring a gay romance between a mage and a werewolf.

They're on a mission to uncover who is behind a vampire drug ring and to trust one another despite histories of betrayal and judgement. There are mentions of other mythologies, adventure, fighting, and hot hot sexy times.

If you like meandering adventure with erotic moments shared between to bad boys - read it. If not - still read it, maybe you'll find that you are.

Patrick's bad habits

So it's August and Patrick has moved to New York and living together with Jono. A new case lands at his feet and it's one that will push Jono to start making moves towards making a "more official" God Pack, claiming territory and gathering allies and claims to challenge Estelle and Youssef.

The case is about tortured and sacrificed independent were-creatures that Estelle and Youssef denied protection to and instead sold to the Manhattan Night Court for fights and sacrifice to Santa Muerte. Of course Aztec Gods and Lucian are there too make a mess of things. Especially since Patrick promises Lucien to help him take over the Manhattan Night Court. Jono is so not pleased.

I won't say more about the story apart from the fact that this here is when one of the most beloved side-characters appears and I so missed him in the first book.

Gary is once again a master in narrating this. Not only for the multitude of voices and accents but also for his performance and emotion coming through.

love this story

Is such a good book well written narration was excellent I can listen to this book all day long

Great series

Not sure why I waited so long to start this series, but now that I have I love them. Jono and Patrick are fantastic and seeing them grow in each book. Love

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

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
