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.

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!!

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!

Nice middle ground...

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.

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.
