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.

Obsessed with Hailey Turner

This story is not the typical stories I usually go for, so I was nervous but this book got me within the first few sentences! Hailey Turner has such an impressive imagination and her story telling skills are amazing. I read this book first and then the audio came out so I of course wanted to revisit the story!! I love Jono's voice in this, Patrick's voice took me a little getting used to but after a chapter I was sold! I love Hades, Estelle, Setsuna, Lucien all amazing!! This is such an amazing mystical world full of mages, witches, vampires, werewolves, immortals, and humans! I'm obsessed with the world Hailey has created.

There are just so many layers to this book, it's amazing. Patrick ends up playing a very important role during the investigations and makes some unlikely allies. His little group starts forming, as they realize they need to work together to defeat the threat at hand. Amongst that group is Jono, the lone werewolf, who Patrick connects with instantly when their eyes connect. They were brought together for a purpose, and I really want to see where they go and what amazing things they'll do in future books. Seriously you need to read and hear this book!! :)

I thought the narration was good??

I enjoyed the story and the world that the author created. I also thought the narration was good.

Ditch the cliches and it would be S tier

Fictional versions of the Greek pantheon in an urban fantasy story was too cliche for me. Would have liked something more original to fill that niche in the story. Loved literally everything else.

A rollercoaster ride!

This story was fantastic! Loved Jono and Patrick, their complicated connection along with their connection to the Gods. This story has tons of action, some romance and the Gods are downright scary. Enjoyed Gary Furlong's narration and am looking forward to book 2!

Serviceable narration

I loved this story, but the narration was mediocre much of the way through. I alternated between listening to the Audible version and reading the Kindle version. I found the story more enjoyable and easier to follow in print. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I wouldn't avoid this narrator in the future. In fact, I've already purchased the next book on Audible.
