About this listen
Get Your Bad-Ass On!
The rumble of a Harley... The gleam of black leather... The shine of polished chrome... The freedom of the open road...
Motorcycles meet magic and mayhem as Lance Cosain, the halfling leader of The Wild Hunt MC, protects his turf and his people from attacks ordered by Dair na Scath, the high king of the fae.
Holding his own against rogue fae, redcaps, and the gremlins of the road, all Lance wants to do is settle down with his lady. Instead he goes toe to toe with the high king's champion over an ancient dagger and the claim to a throne.
Who will triumph? The king of the road or the king of the realm? Either way the hunt is on!
Based on the stories "At the Crossroads" and "Within the Guardian Bell" from the award-winning Bad-Ass Faeries Anthology Series.

Story
I make a living out of screwing over the jerks who capture and torment supernatural beasties. But when I free a bunch of particularly powerful monsters from their cages, I'm not counting on them following me home like lost puppies - stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. These manly monsters are determined to repay me for my help, and they won't get out of my apartment, until they're satisfied we're even. There's something to be said for allies so devoted they'll tear off heads and shred souls on your behalf. I'm all for joining forces.

But when a terror group threatens the Dansil throne, the king forces Kali to accept a mission at the palace or forfeit her sister’s life. Suddenly thrust into the light, Kali must infiltrate high society as the royal Lady Lianna while penetrating the servant ranks as Kal, a male guardsman trainee. It doesn’t help that Trace, the harsh and enigmatic captain of the king’s guard, is soon assigned as both Lady Lianna’s palace escort and Kal’s commanding officer.

Half devil and miles from anything resembling heroic, perpetual underdog Frank "Triggaltheron" Trigg is the last man standing against Armageddon. As the favorite nephew of the devil, Frank has led a troubled life, but he'd always had his uncle's influence to fall back on. Now, with God and Lucifer coming to terms and leaving existence to fend for itself, his once exalted status of Antichrist-to-be does little to endear him to the hordes of angels and demons running amok in the godless world.

The brutality of war was all Ian Troy had ever known. Peace was all he ever wanted. Fate had other plans when it placed the Crown of Stones, an ancient artifact of untold power, into his battle-weary hands. With one reckless wish, he ended a conflict that had been tearing the realms apart since before he was born—and paid a terrible price. A decade later, Ian is still haunted by that tragic day. Running from the blood in his veins and on his hands, he struggles to forget—what he’s done and what he is.

All I wanted was to keep my distance from the criminals I work for and get my little brother out of the hell that is our mother's house. Then I died and woke up to four stunningly hot gods telling me I'm now a valkyrie. Sly, sharp Loki. Jovial but ferocious Thor. Dreamily compassionate Baldur. Grim and secretive Hod. I'm connected to all of them through a bond we barely understand. The longer I spend with them, the more my walls start to crack. But the gods didn't summon me just for kicks. Their king is missing, and they need me to find him.

Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

Bikers and Boggarts abound in this Urban Fantasy
Danielle Ackley-McPhail writes a slick fantasy tale set in Urbania, or she wrote a wonderful Urban Fantasy. She introduces some great ideas, like a bike gang known as the Wild hunt. That is just brilliant. he also creates some of the best detailed characters I've read in a long time, and has included some nifty little magics custom made for the modern age, like magic tattoos for instance. The writing is fun and flows, and it doesn't lag or slow down. I really enjoyed my introduction to McPhail and look forward to even bigger and better things in the future.
George Kuch narrates. He does a good job, but he really doesn't infuse the story with much emotion or enthusiasm. He reads clearly and is unquestionably easy to listen to, but for all his perfect pronunciation he still seems to lack life in his words. I really think that he doesn't do a bad job, he just doesn't elevate the story to a higher level. That is what I look for in my narration. Anyone can read words, only a few can tell them. He does try voices, but they aren't all that distinctive. To me, this is what brought the audiobook down some stars, if he's upped his game I'd feel better about it.
I do want to take a moment to talk about the cover. A cover is meant to do a few things. The first is to grab the eye of a potential reader. Next it should demonstrate something about the story, a scene or the premise. In my opinion, this cover did not do either. It is not even something I would hang on my wall. In my mind this is a detriment, because if the cover doesn't make you stop and look at the book's blurb, then you don't sell books. I only had this come up in my list because I did a search for Halflings. I do not add or remove stars for covers, but I hope that the next book does a better job to pull readers in.
Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.
