Mountainway Chant

Coulter and Woodard, Book 2

By: M.J. Calabrese

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Adam Coulter has returned and is coping with the horrific events of 16 months ago as best he can, but not everyone is happy about it. His best friend and new husband, Detective Eagle Woodard, doesn’t want to speak to him and it’s starting to look like his fifth marriage isn’t going to be anymore successful than his other four.

FBI Agent Rick Kessler and Navajo Reservation Police Lieutenant Carlos Aiello, Eagle’s cousin, have pulled a reluctant Adam into another case. Five bodies discovered at the site of a planned casino, all dressed and painted up as Native American mythological characters, offer confusing clues. Are they dealing with another serial killer?

Fighting to stay clean and sober, Adam’s 12 step sponsor is murdered. At first, it seems unrelated to what he saw in the desert, but evidence comes to light that says otherwise. Revelations concerning Adam’s past and his father, Richard Coulter’s, connections to the local crime syndicate boss, Nelson Greybill come to light.

Can Adam repair the damage he’s done to his relationship with Eagle so he can help him solve this case? Can he win back the only man he’s ever truly loved, or will the demons of his past win the battle for his soul?

Please note: This is the second book in a continuous series. For full enjoyment, please listen to Warrior's Way before listening to Mountainway Chant. Contains murder and mayhem, as well as dealing with an alcohol and drug addiction. If these are triggers for you, please skip this one!

Gritty and intense!

I'm really enjoying this series. It's real and raw with added suspense. Can't wait for the next one!

Not Any Better

I also left this review for books 1 and 3 also.

First and foremost, this series is not a romance. The main characters, who are supposed to love each other, are horrible. The entire story is a disjointed mess. Things happen and then some random fact is dropped into the story to, I assume, make it more intriguing. It’s not. I stuck with it in the hopes that it would get better, but each book got substantially worse. I’d return the audios if I could. Generally I don’t leave written reviews, but this series is just so bad that I have to. So many things in this “complete” trilogy were left open. Neither character acted consistently throughout the series and it was hard to grasp which version of the character was on page; I’m not talking about character growth, I’m talking full personality changes. Between the cheating, the fights, and the joking about rape, not to mention the cringe Ke-mo/Tonto nicknames… there is just so much wrong with this series. And then it just ended with an info dump and that was that. I’m upset with myself for not just DNFing, this was a waste of time and money. Don’t let the blurb fool you if you like romantic suspense. The only good thing about this was Nick J Russo’s narration, he did an amazing job, especially considering the source material.
