Resurrection Reprise

A Soulbound Universe Novel

De: Hailey Turner

Narrado por: Gary Furlong

Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Spencer Bailey has spent his entire life under government oversight for something he can’t change: his magic’s affinity for breaking souls. After surviving the end of the world, Spencer joins the Supernatural Operations Agency with the intention of keeping his head down and his hands clean.

Tasked with tracking down a stolen artifact, Spencer wants to run his first case with the SOA by the book. The master vampire of the Seattle Night Court won’t make that easy. Takoma is demanding and possessive, used to getting what he wants, and he lures Spencer into his Night Court with the seductive promise of freedom.

In the Pacific Northwest, ghosts are crawling out of the woodwork, demons are on the rise, and Spencer can’t afford to make a mistake. Torn between the life he should lead and the one Takoma is offering, Spencer has to make a choice that won’t break his soul, but it might just shatter his heart.

It had to be demons!

I’m glad Spencer finally got his story (even if this book feels like the beginning of a spinoff series rather than a standalone). The Soulbreaker gets his chance to shine as he kicks off a new job as an SOA agent with a murky case in Seattle, coming face to fang once again with master vampire Tacoma. Their characters are well matched and the chemistry between them is explosive. I loved how Fatima’s personality developed with the superiority and affection only a feline is capable of. Other familiar faces make cameos here, with a particular shoutout for Wade. Gary Furlong returns for another on point narration of the story. I truly hope this isn’t the last trip back to this world and these characters.

welcome back to the Soulbound Universe!

“Welcome to the Supernatural Operations Agency, Special Agent Spencer Bailey.”

…and welcome back to the Soulbound Universe!

In this installment we join Spencer Bailey on the west coast, Seattle. He begins working his first case with the SOA but soon finds himself face to face with a familiar Night Court Vampire, Takoma, whom he battled along side at the end of the world.

Spencer has a type, which we previously learned and that is vampires so it’s no shocker that he has a large attraction to Takoma, instantly. The attraction began prior to his move to Seattle. Takoma makes his intentions clear from the beginning with his return attraction to Spencer. It’s a very clear stance from both our leading male leads of who they want, just not how they can make it happen. Takoma has an easier way of it since he is the leader of the Night Court and can usually get his way. Spencer, on the other hand, has been ran by the government since his soul breaking magic made its self known as a little child. His rare magic leaves him an outsider to many, besides the special few who take him in

Fatima is amazing and I want one. She’s the best girl and I would take an entire book of just her sassing people. She’s attached herself to Spencer as his psychopomp. She acts his connection through the veil as well as pulling souls and demons back through the veil as needed. She’s a sassy Ocelot who owns Spencer and puts him in his place as needed, but also is his most loyal companion. Spencer had a lack of those over his life with his family giving him up so young. He had Patrick and Nadia (from the previous Soulbound series and are seen very limited in this one), but Fatima is his girl.

The writing and story telling is outstanding as usual for a Hailey Turner novel. You got the normal twist and turns with the romance and quirky jokes. The amazing male leads with their comic relief side characters to break the seriousness of any scene. I always get the range of emotions when reading Ms. Turner’s books, from laughing to rolling my eyes to crying to what the-. It’s always a ride and this was no different.

Overall, another solid 5-star read for me.

Great story.

Gary Furlong’s narration is fantastic! I love this entire series so much I just re listened to the whole thing.

I loved everything

I didn't realize that this was kind of a continuation of a series, which I haven't read. there were a few things that were referenced from those books that I was confused about but it was pretty easy to read as a standalone with context clues. The story was absolutely amazing, and I loved how the characters developed throughout the story. I really hope there is a continuation of the story, I would definitely listen to more books with Spencer as the main character.

Now I'm going to have to go back and listen to all the other soulbound novels, this author is fantastic and you should definitely read this book!

Another great story in the Soulbound Universe

I love the entire Soulbound series and this story delivers just the same. I was so excited for this to release and was afraid I could be psyching myself up for disappointment. But it was definitely not disappointing! I loved Spencer in the original series and I'm so glad to see him get his own storyline. I hope his story will continue and will have more adventures. And I hope one day to have some Wade stories. Also, Gary Furlong does an amazing job once again of bringing these characters to life with his wonderful narration.
