Publisher's summary

How can I say no to the Morrigan?

I am trying to be a better person. So when my friend, the Celtic Goddess of Death, asks me for help, I'm hesitant.

When we get together, death and mayhem always follow.

I agree reluctantly, and we start unraveling the mystery. To solve this case, we will have to travel to a murderous netherworld and rescue a talking dagger from the Goblin Queen.

And that's just the start of our wild adventures. The Morrigan will have to ride a mechanical bull to get a valuable clue too.

Start a new urban fantasy series that features interesting characters like a talking dagger, a courageous dragonfly, a blue-eyed werewolf, and a legendary wizard in a different light. This series is perfect for fans of Shayne Silvers, Linsey Hall, and McKenzie Hunter.

Black Birds

I really enjoyed This story this is the first time That I've had opportunity for this wonderful new Author for me I really enjoyed the storyline there is action suspense drama what more could you want the narration was fabulous

and the fun continues!

What a fun book! This one is just as fun as the first book. or maybe even more fun! Gareth, a talking dagger steals the show. and The Morrigan, Goddess of Death on a mechanical bull. That alone should be enough to convince you to read this first 2. The characters are great. We see Junipher trying so hard to be a better person. I think she does ok. We also get to see them relax for a minute at a country bar and that was nice. The story in this one is just as good as the first book. I look forward to following this series. I would say if you like the Rachel Morgan series, you would like these.

New friends and new adventures

In book 2 we see more of Mo & June’s sisterhood. They are one badass team!
We meet some new characters which allow us more insight into the diverse nature of June’s world. I love the mix of Greek, Norse, and other Gods. I love the mix in mythos. Zeus, Loki, Thor, Hades all in one place!!

Great follow up to book 1!!

Nice middle ground...

This was a fun book to listen to. The story felt rushed, especially the ending, but the narration saved it. We get to know Moe a bit more which is nice. The premise is really cool, truly. It’s the rushed feeling that kept me from giving it five stars. The addition of a new member of the team was nice and the character was fleshed out well. Overall, a solid “middle of the series” book. It left me excited for the third book!

Very good

This was a very good audiobook. It has a lot of action suspense and drama. The narrator does a wonderful job of reading this book.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The narration was great.

Fun read

Great main character and the situation she finds herself in is action packed and makes for a fun read. I love the blending on several different cultures' mythologies.

Language level detracts from a good tale

Parents: lots of language, not recommended for under 18
Language: R, 50+ Fbombs
Violence: hanging, cannibalism, murder
Sexual content: sex organ terms used, prostitution

I haven’t read the first book but I don’t think it would have made much difference. The adventure is stilted but intriguing and relatively fast paced. I enjoyed the different take on all of the mythological beings. I feel like the language level really detracts from the overall story quality and makes June seem less than educated for being well over 5 centuries old. Overall this is an interesting idea and the adventure is gripping, I wish it were a bit cleaner as I would like to continue reading this series.

Narrator: poor differentiations, slight change in accents is about it.

Another winner

Demons magic and gods what could possibly go wrong. Give it a listen to find out all the twist and turns that make this a truly riveting story.

amazing! yet another hit!

JP rice spins a tail that hooks you from the very first word from the very first chapter. the narration by Liz brand is bringing to life Juniper in a way that not many can do. A kick-ass character brought to life through words and storytelling it's a must-read for anyone who's into Supernatural paranormal and just all-around good fun.
