A review by teenykins
A Ferry of Bones & Gold by Hailey Turner
5.0
2nd re-listen. Upping my rating.
Seriously this is one of those series that is getting better and better with every re-listen since there's a lot of things going on, there's a lot of world-building and info given and for me something more sticks every time in my memory, that I previously missed and discover just how much work has gone into the story.
It's June and Patrick Collins comes to New York for a case that the chief of Police made an appeal to the SoA, the alphabet agency Patrick is working for after leaving the Mage Corps (military).
The case will take him to meet Marek who is a seer and affiliated with the Tempest Pack. After their quite disastrous meeting, Patrick will go to the Tempest (the pack's bar) to talk with him but sparks will fly and chemistry will ignite between him and Jonothon de Vere.
This is the beginning of their story and how Jono slowly but surely will strive to curb Patrick's bad tendencies towards self-preservation.
---------------
Oh hey, look at that. Almost a year to the day I tried the book.
Anyway I have to say that listening to the audiobook was much more enjoyable than reading the book was. For quite a while now I figured that some authors are better to be listened to than read and for me Hailey Turner is one of those.
Gary Furlong did an amazing job narrating with distinct voices between MCs so you never had to wonder who was talking, a great pace and getting emotions across.
The story was enjoyable, if a tad too long if you consider the fact that I zoned out for 10-15mins without missing anything that would make me have questions why something happened later. Hailey is way too descriptive some times with things that have no value in the story. I'd prefer a bit more world building and/or backstory than a complete description of Patrick and Jonothon getting in the car.
Will continue with the series for now.
