This is the second book in the Soulbound series by Hailey Turner.
As much as I enjoyed the action in the first book, A Ferry of Bones & Gold, I wasn't sure I'll stick to this series because it got exhausting at times. As English isn't my native language I had a hard time keeping up with all the werecreatures, mages, vampires, werewolfs, gods, immortals.
Well in this one we get many more characters, but I got more invested into the story! Much more than I expected.
The beginning was a little slow, but we get many more intriguing characters. This is actually the sequel to A Ferry of Bones & Gold, and it's best to read the the first book in the series to enjoy this one to the fullest.
Patrick and Jono find themselves in the middle of the fighting for territorial disputes between the vampires and werecreatures. I really wish Patrick would have taken Jono's advice or at least admit they were a pack now and he needed Jono by his side. It bugged me a little that he was determined to still work on his own and he got into trouble all the time.
All the Aztec gods, Santa Muerte, Tezcatlipoca, Omacatl Cartel were great additions to the story. We get many unexpected scenes, a lot of suspense and of course, A LOT of action.
I don't want to give too much away. A lot of characters surprised me, especially Wade.
What I loved most here would be the strong soulbound Patrick and Jono had. The way Jono fought to keep Patrick safe, his possessive and also tender side.
This story is well written, entertaining and full of action. I did expect a little more hotness and was left wanting more.
Looking forward to reading the next book. Hopefully we'll get more hot scenes between the main characters!

Glad you enjoyed it more than the first book! I still haven't decided whether I'll continue with the series. I love both MCs and I'm really interested in their relationship, but the world building didn't wow me.

Thanks, dear! I have to admit the characters are super lovable but the world building is super complex and the book gets focused on the action and suspense. If it helps I might say it's better than the first book and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat!
If you'll give it a try let me know. Hugs!!
