Bad Bones

Blood and Magic Series, Book 1

By: Lauretta Hignett

Narrated by: Sharon Freedman

Okay, I might be seriously under-qualified for the job of Enforcer, I'll admit. The Enforcer is supposed to be a human, for starters. It's usually an ex-special forces guy with big muscles and even bigger balls, and a knack for sorting out petty squabbles between the witches and vampires and shifters in the city.

And I'm just a technically dead nail tech—an animated skeleton with a talent for illusion magic and gold gel manicures. But I've recently discovered that I can manifest some pretty big muscles of my own. I've already got the big balls, so I'm halfway there.

It's the 'sorting out petty squabbles' part that I might have trouble with. I'm usually the one to start the fights, not finish them. But a girl has got to grow up sometime.

My first job is finding a missing person—a half-pixie girl vanished from her home a week ago, and if she doesn't surface soon, the local Fae diplomat is going to raise Hell. Her father is blaming vampires, her boyfriend is pointing the finger at the local werewolves. The clock is ticking. I'm determined to find her alive, and prove to the supes of DC that I've got what it takes to keep this town on the straight-and-narrow.

Loving these stories

When will the rest of Lauretta’s works be available on Audible? It is an absolute shame they are being released out of series timeline order!!!

Once again, love LH’s work. She’s one of the most creative authors I’ve had the pleasure of reading, in a genre I quite enjoy! 👻💀

Good fun urban fantasy

It was a fun ride! I had some good laughs, felt for the characters, and enjoyed the bits of romance that popped up. I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump and this did a great job of pulling me out of it

Non stop good. Narrator was excellent.

There was never a boring part of this book. Entertaining. Funny. Clever. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Bravo.

5 Stars

I'm glad I found this author. I can already tell that I'm going to love this series. It's has engaging characters and a creative plot. I look forward to the next book.

excellent bk!

I'm actually in bk 2 right now. I love this series! just as good as her last series. there r surprises, mystery, a slow burn, love the characters. there is nothing about this series so far that I don't like. worth every penny!

Interesting premise/ Ever so woke!

The performance & storyline are very good. They are foreshadowed by virtually every ultrawoke trope of modern teen and pre-teen society. If you had a sheet of college ruled paper and listed every wokism, you likely would fill it front and back in the first 3 chapters. I'm in doubt about whether I'll finish listening but will give it a chance to see whether the story will continue to bang the same drum..... endlessly.
