About this listen

Bound: Chinatown Demons, Book One

Chinatown, San Francisco.

A different place - another time - and where the city’s streets keep secrets and shadowy mysteries, SFPD Inspector Spencer Ricci needs to dig through after he finds himself on a case involving a dismembered, mummified man in a restaurant’s locked storage room.

Spencer drags around a lot of baggage, including an ongoing battle with the bottle and a long career as an LAPD detective he’d set fire to in a blaze of booze-soaked mistakes. San Francisco is supposed to be a new start, but his old ghosts haunt him, beckoning him back into his self-destructive bad habits. Bad habits that include contemplating doing dirty things with the wrong kind of guy and this time, it’s a sleek, cold-tempered medical examiner named Xian Carter with a complicated reputation.

For a century-old demon, Xian Carter is content with his secretive life. Hiding his nature from the mundane world, he blends in with the city’s inhabitants as best he can but even the best of predators make mistakes. Delving into the mysteries of the dead provide a welcome distraction from endless nights and hiding in plain sight amuses him, until something supernaturally wicked comes knocking on his door with an extremely hot, broody Inspector close behind.

Murder makes for strange bedfellows and this one is no exception. The twists and turns of the case leaves Xian and Spencer on a wild goose chase after clues, but Xian can only hope there’s a human at the end of the trail - because the last thing San Francisco needs is another predator.

I went into the book expecting a twist, because it's Rhys Ford. I went into the audio book expecting to enjoy the experience because Rhys Ford and Greg Tremblay. The book and listening experience met all of my expectations. Thank goodness its only book 1 with more to come!

Surprise! My high expectations were met.

The only negative thing I have to say about this book is that I’d have wanted it to be twice as long!

I want more!

So good to hear Greg back with Rhys Ford. They are a fantastic duo if words and voice. Gritty, fascinating story and characters. It is a cliff hanger, but oh so good.

Great!

I am very intrigued by this beginning. I can't wait to find out more about Xian and Spencer and what's going on in SF.

Another good beginning

The world-building was exciting. The characters were interesting and likable. I wish some of the reader's questions were answered. That said, I hate, hate, hate undisclosed cliffhangers; particularly when I don't know when the story will continue. Rhys Ford is normally a must-read for me but I feel mislead. Book One implies a series, not a serial. Bound was priced and sold as a book, not as a portion of one. Greg Tremblay performed the story very well but I had a hard time distinguishing the two brothers from each other.

Excellent story I don't appreciate the CLIFFHANGER

Good beginning of a new series. More of a cliff hanger than I'd like but I cant wait for more

Entertaining

I love Rhys’ work. I stumbled across this book not realizing it was a quick read with the end suggesting more to come. Hope I’m right about that. Highly recommend anything Rhys writes.

Love me some Rhys Ford

I purchased this book and the audio because I already have many books and audios by Rhys Ford. Every book by this author has unfailingly been an exciting and interesting work.

I highly recommend this book and audio and Rhys Ford's many other works. Also the narrator, Greg Tremblay, did an excellent job on the audio.
