About this book
When the gods come calling, you don’t get to say no.
Patrick Collins is three years into a career as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency when the gods come calling to collect a soul debt he owes them. An immortal has gone missing in New York City and bodies are showing up in the wake of demon-led ritual killings that Patrick recognizes all too easily from his nightmares.
Unable to walk away, Patrick finds himself once again facing off against mercenary magic users belonging to the Dominion Sect. Standing his ground alone has never been a winning option in Patrick’s experience, but it’s been years since he’s had a partner he could trust.
Looking for allies in all the wrong places, Patrick discovers the Dominion Sect’s next target is the same werewolf the Fates themselves have thrown into his path. Patrick has been inexplicably attracted to the man from their first meeting, but desire has no place in war. That doesn’t stop Patrick from wanting what he shouldn’t have. Jonothon de Vere is gorgeous, dangerous, and nothing but trouble - to the case, to the fight against every hell, and ultimately, to Patrick’s heart and soul.
In the end, all debts must be paid, and Patrick can only do what he does best - cheat death.

So I started reading M/M Paranormal Romance this past May. In addition to fulfilling a prophecy by my Readers’ Advisory professor made when I was in Library School, one of my aims was to start on a writing project that would hopefully be a way for me to break my location-instilled writer’s block. Six months later, I’ve got a rough outline, 4 pages written, a few websites for research, tons more M/M Paranormal Romance reading under my belt, and a fervent hope that what I produce can be as good...

Big mystery, paranormal, science fiction, and fantasy reader of 30+ years here, and I rarely leave reviews for books, but after reading the second book in this series, all I could think about as I started book 3, was how much I wanted to review this series (or, at least, the first three books of it that are currently available). Aside from the author's skill as a writer--word choice, sentence structure, anticipation of reader's experience, etc--which I found myself appreciating with each book,...

He’s a former mage soldier and now works as an investigating agent for SOA in their Rapid Response division. Patrick is the person other professionals call in with they find themselves out of their depth, but even Patrick has his...

I don't usually write a review before I finish the book but... BUT. There is just too much done so well here that is different, refreshing and absolutely stands out. In the past few years I have began to cringe when I see a LGBTQ main character. They are usually either depicted as uneasy with their sexuality or celibate to 'spare' the mainstream cis audience. If there ARE gay sex scenes between men, they are lackluster and one is most definitely the 'girl'. NOT SO HERE! Patrick is a very...

Wow! I am so glad I finally made myself sit down and read this. \"A Ferry of Bones and Gold\" is a kickass urban fantasy book centered around Patrick Collins - former combat mage with a damaged soul and a debt to the immortal gods - and Jono - hot British werewolf alpha without a pack - who've been thrown together by the Fates. Someone is killing people in New York City. Soon it becomes clear that this mess is tied to Patrick's past and if he can't find a way to stop it he'll lose everything....
