Story
You’d never know that Shatter Cage is a were-squirrel by looking at him. Between fake fire charms and his impenetrable confidence, everyone believes he’s the phoenix he claims to be. The lie is a necessary part of his branding. He’s determined to become a Hero, blessed by the Oracles and venerated by legions of followers. For now, he’s just one more thief slinging magical artifacts on the black market, hoping for infamy to strike like lightning. But he’s never going to become canonized if Gutterman, demon and loan shark, gets his pound of flesh from Cage first.

My name's Cesar Hawke. I'm a witch working for a division of the government you've never heard about. The world's not what everyone thinks it is - unless you think that our world's a pawn in a game of chess between Heaven and Hell, and riddled with as much magic and wonder as it is with evil. In that case, the world is exactly what you think. My place of employment - the Office of Preternatural Affairs - takes a modern approach to an ages-old problem.

"My name is Mike Ross and I'm a Ferryman - like in the Greek myth. I didn't ask for, or really want, the job, but I'm trying to make the best of it. Most ghosts are okay and just need a little help to get where they need to go. Unfortunately, there are lots of exceptions, like power-mad psychopaths, spirits still trying to fight battles long since lost, and the worst of the lot - the Skinwalkers. They live vicariously by possessing people and controlling them like puppet masters. Then they toss them aside when they've outlived their usefulness."

Publisher's Summary
It's been a month since apocalypse destroyed the world as Lincoln Marshall once knew it. The new world is populated by deadly faeries, wild shapeshifters, and humans without a god. Lincoln's sins can never be absolved now that God is dead. There's nothing left for him but the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
Until Cesar Hawke comes seeking help. The undersecretary of the new Office of Preternatural Affairs has manifested uncontrollable magical powers. The only cure lies beyond the frontier of the untamed faerie worlds - a land that no mortal man can survive. He needs Lincoln to escort him to the Winter Queen through hostile territory riddled by killer unicorns, doppelgangers, and false prophets. No big deal.
Lincoln Marshall once conquered Hell. He's certain he can conquer the Middle Worlds too - and if he can't, he's happy to die trying.

Homophobia and Bigotry abound
I thought I was getting a enjoyable urban fantasy novel and what Was actually got was a main character who could be summed up as bitter, homophobic, and bigoted. Never faster have I returned a book.

Loathsome main character...
Lonesome Paladin: An Urban Fantasy Novel (A Fistful of Daggers Series, Book 1) by S M Reine and narrated by Jeffrey Kafer is an intriguing world, but one of the main characters spoiled it for me.
What’s it about? Lincoln must help Cesar to the faerie courts as he has rebirthed a second time since the Genesis. The Genesis healed the world, but turned half the world into preternaturals. Lincoln played a huge role into why the world changed. For his role in it, he is a bitter, hateful man. Unfortunately his hatred (homophobic, racist, and an all around POS) ruined the book for me. I kept waiting for him to show any remorse, but it never happened. If Lincoln was removed from the book, it’d be a five star story as the rest of the book was intriguing (characters, world setting, plot).
If you are new to S M Reine, do not start with this book- I enjoyed her Race of Thieves: An Urban Fantasy Novel (Artifact Hunters, Book 1).
The narrator, Jeffrey Kafer, did an amazing job. If it wasn’t for him, I would have quit listening well before the end.
Parental advisory/trigger warnings: slurs, one of the main characters is racist and homophobic, death, fighting, violence, religion.

Racist manly man saves the world
Ehhhhh, the main character of this book is just so un-relatable and shitty. He’s the typical I can’t feel any feelings manly Cowboy that says homophobic and racist stuff with the excuse of I’m not one of those PC types. And I really don’t need that in my fantasy. It’s a shame because the world and the other characters in the book are actually interesting but not enough to continue reading the rest of the series.

Pretty interesting character,
the main character, Lincoln marshall, is a pretty unlikable character, he's homophobic racist bigoted. at the end he still comes through for Cesar hawk and fritz freterling. It's great to see Caesar and Fritz again, I love how the stories cross over characters from other stories. The story was very enjoyable. narration was excellent.

Lonesome Paladin is a dark supernatural post apocalyptic story with a sanctimonious anti-hero. The storyline is entertaining and interesting. The narrator did a nice job. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

“Every full moon the safehouses turned into Thunderdome for Shifters”
It’s a good listen definitely, but felt as though I’d missed out the first book at times and would definitely benefit from a prequel.
Looking forward to book 2 now the scene has been set.
Not sure if showing the character was a racist and homophobe (to allow for character development?) was necessary and seems a bit forced; could well put some listeners off from finishing, but please bear with it and keep going.
Jeffrey is a great narrator and I’ve loved everything I’ve heard of his, although some of the voices could have used a little more distinguishing from each other.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.
