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.

omg when is the next one coming out

this was a great book I loved every minute of it action a love story can wait for the next one to come out

Story and writing are amazing. Narration is....eh

I love this series so much. And I loved the previous narrator for the Metahuman novels so I was excited to dive into these. The narration is....so flat. Every sentence has the same inflection and cadence. There's little to no emotion in a book that I know is packed with heightened ones so it was really disappointing to hear such an amazing book read so flat and as if the narrator wasn't even interested. Even the intimate scenes were....meh.

The story and the series itself though? Stellar. Amazing. Hailey is one of my auto-buy authors now and I cannot wait to read more by her.

Magic, Guns, Gods, & Werewolves...am I in Heaven?

Not knowing what I was getting into, I absolutely loved this story. Being introduced to Patrick's world and the interlink between Patrick and Jono was delicious to observe. I liked how the author interweaved the backstory into the actual story, adding to the drama and intrigue. The introduction of a cast full of characters was a bit tenuous at times, but trust that the writing styles of Hailey Turner will provide the needed information. In the beginning, I wasn't sure I was going to like this story. At the half-way point, I was literally trapped in the drama involving God's and the like. An addendum here...loved Hermes! By the end I was enthralled and wanted the story to continue...which I see that it does in the next book, which I must start to read/listen to as soon as possible. The narration by Gary Furlong was the icing on this story.

Suspenseful and sexy!

I have listened to this whole series numerous times now but this first book in the series is like coming home. The world building is fluid. There isn’t so much detail that you feel bogged down by all the small details. They’re woven into the story seamlessly and gives you that feeling of learning the characters organically.
Patrick is such a strong MC but his backstory is tragic and makes you ache for him. He can more than take care of himself and kicks ass at his job but you can see that he needs someone to anchor him and Jono is the perfect counterpart. He possessive without being overbearing and he’s sexy as hell. That accent! {swoon}
The narrator knocked it out of the park on this one. It took me a minute to get used to his style as it almost seems too dry at first but it fits the main character. Everyone else has their own voice and you just get lost in the story. To me, that’s what makes a great narrator.

Idk

Loveeeed the book very much. The plot and the characters really intrigued me. However, the audio/narrator just felt off for some reason its not good.
