All Souls Near & Nigh

Soulbound, Book 2

De: Hailey Turner

Narrado por: Gary Furlong

You can’t bargain with death if you’ve already sold your soul.

Special agent Patrick Collins has been reassigned by the supernatural operations agency to New York City. Navigating his new relationship with Jonothon de Vere, the werewolf he’s now soulbound to, is nothing compared to dealing with territorial disputes between the vampires and werecreatures who call the five boroughs home. But the delicate treaties that have kept the preternatural world in check are fraying at the edges, and the fallout is spilling into the mundane world.

Manhattan’s club scene is overrun with the vampire drug known as shine and the subways have become a dumping ground for bodies. When the dead are revealed as missing werecreatures, Patrick and Jono find themselves entangled in pack politics twisted by vampire machinations.

Learning to trust each other comes with problems for both of them, and the gods with a stake in Patrick’s soul debt aren’t finished with him yet. Bound by promises they can’t break, Patrick and Jono must find a way to survive a threat that takes no prisoners and is stalking them relentlessly through the city streets.

Old and new betrayals are coming home to roost but the truth - buried in blood - is more poisonous than the lies being spun. Trying to outrun death is a nightmare - one Patrick may never wake up from.

All Souls Near & Nigh is a 104,000 word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to A Ferry of Bones & Gold, and listening to the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one. Please see the disclaimer at the beginning of the book for content some listeners may find triggering.

Great adventure. Great narration.

Enjoyed every second of this book. Read it first and decided to listen to the audio book. The samples can do the narration justice. Nicely written action with a dash of poetry in the words. Excellent urban fantasy. This series has so much potential to keep going!

loved it

I can not wait for book 3! Such an enjoyable series to read if your looking for action and a sprinkling of steamy scenes.

Pretty decent detective/fantasy with a gay hero

Always looking for fantasy or sci fi with well-fleshed out gay characters. Pretty sick of the one dimensional “gay best friend” tropes or the complete denial we see almost everywhere. This is a welcome glimpse at representation in my favorite genre with decent character development.

Great sequel

I loved seeing more from Patrick and Jono. I really liked seeing their relationship deepen and liked seeing more sides of it. The action also gets bigger and better.

The world-building is also amazing. I loved learning about all of the different mythical/paranormal creatures.

I thought the narrator did a great job as well! He knocked book 1 out of the park and I'm happy to say he did the same for book 2. He really brings a lot of life into these characters.

fantastic supernatural ride!

this series has got me hooked! I love all of the characters and the two main characters (Patrick and Jono) have such an interesting Bond. The new evil in this book was good! it led in well for us to know more about the vampire group of town. The love scenes were steamy and the narrator did a fantastic job. overall well done! Can't wait for the next book!

Loved it! Great series

Have read all the books and am enjoying the audio versions. Gary Furlong does a great job though at various points the voices of different characters sounded too similar and it was a little confusing. Not often and he does a good job with the various accents and the complicated pronunciations.

FANTASTIC!! 4.5 Action-Filled Stars

This follow-up to the first in the series rocked! Be sure to check out the glossary in the back before reading so you have an idea of the gods involved.

I can’t say anything new that other reviews haven’t already stated much better than I ever could.

If you loved the first, this one will blow you away as the god factions fight for New York!

Going to have to listen again!

There is no easy way to say it- you are going to get hooked on this series- if you already aren't. I loved the first book. I was hooked on this book from the first chapter. Patrick and Jono are one hot couple. Not only are they great characters individually, well developed for sure, but when they get together you can feel their bond. The story is well written and developed to the point that you want to continue listening. Gary Furlong's narration kicks it up a notch. Can't wait for the next book!!

Great World Building and Narration

All Souls Near & Nigh, the second book in Hailey Turner’s Soulbound series, is a five-star novel. I rarely give five-star ratings, but Turner demonstrates how a sequel can truly elevate a series. She brings New York City to life as a dark, thrilling paranormal landscape, filled with unique supernatural dynamics that transform the familiar into the extraordinary.

In this book, Patrick is learning to adjust to his relationship with Jono, and their connection feels authentic and layered. Patrick is used to his independence, so moving in with someone else—and learning to compromise—feels new and challenging. For instance, he sacrifices his smoking habit, aware of how Jono’s heightened sense of smell as a werecreature makes it tough to live with. These kinds of sacrifices show Patrick’s growing commitment and add a realistic layer to their relationship, making it feel relatable even within a supernatural context.

The central conflict centers on a string of mysterious werecreature deaths in New York City’s subway tunnels. This storyline introduces Wade, a scrappy, always-hungry teenager with a magnetic personality, who comes under Patrick and Jono's care. Wade is such a refreshing, unpredictable addition to the story, adding both levity and intrigue. I’m eager to see how his character develops in future books and how he continues to challenge Patrick and Jono’s relationship and responsibilities.

Though the novel starts at a slower pace, it quickly picks up, maintaining a gripping, adventurous rhythm. Turner’s richly detailed fight scenes bring NYC's train tunnels to life, capturing the eerie atmosphere of the city's underground. Just when it seems like the conflict is resolved, Turner masterfully twists the plot, setting the stage for even bigger challenges in book three.

Fans of urban fantasy with rich worldbuilding, LGBTQ+ representation, and complex, genuine relationships will love All Souls Near & Nigh. This series continues to offer strong character dynamics, high-stakes action, and a darkly fascinating view of New York’s supernatural side. Turner has made this sequel both exciting and emotionally rewarding, leaving readers eager for what’s next.
