About this listen

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.

Death cards are being produced illegally, Juniper is drawn into the search for the culprit's, while also trying to resolve the vampire werewolf situation.

Well narrated by Liz Brand, she keeps the story moving nicely.

What's really great about the second book in a series is feeling right at home and comfortable with the narrator straight away. It's like putting on your comfy clothes and settling in with a hot chocolate. Liz Brand does a great job again, though I'm not sure about her Scottish accent...

I really enjoyed this story, much more than the first book. I'm not sure whether it's because I know the characters better or whether I just enjoyed the adventure more. The new characters are great and I liked the ongoing overall plot. I looke forward to the next book.

Really enjoyed this second book in this series
