Vein Pursuits

Black Badge Series, Book 2

By: Rhett C. Bruno, Jaime Castle

Narrated by: Roger Clark

The path to Heaven runs through miles of icy Hell …

James Crowley has ridden the road to Crescent City before, but never with companions like these. Never with a woman whose very presence jeopardizes everything he’s fought for over the past two decades.

The swamps are a brutal, nasty place filled with creatures most people think only exist in nightmares and fever dreams. When Crowley, along with Rosa, Bram Stoker, Harker, and Irish stumble upon such a creature, and one of their party finds themselves mortally wounded, they must find help in the most unlikely of places.

But that wasn’t James Crowley’s mission. As a Black Badge, a Hand of God, he’s been tasked with hunting down the worst Hell has to offer, and at Shargrafein’s beckoning, he must suss out the Betrayer—a mysterious being about whom no information is given.

What he finds is something he never could have guessed. The city is overrun with vampires, werewolves, and worse, including an old acquaintance with nothing good in mind.

Meanwhile, Rosa has continued her pursuit to reconnect with her dead husband, Willy Massey. With the help of a Voodoo Queen, she must do the unthinkable. Only Crowley stands between her and a choice that would forever scar her soul. But will he be able to escape the clutches of Hell in order to keep her from destroying everything and everyone in her path?

With the question of right and wrong always nagging at Crowley’s undead heart, he must decide where his loyalties lie in this pulse-pounding sequel to the hit Cold as Hell. The Witcher meets The Dresden Files in this weird Western series by the Audible number one bestselling duo behind Dead Acre.

Vein Pursuits

Well, I can honestly say that the quest itself was definitely a vein pursuit but as per usual it was another amazing audiobook & book. I will be especially curious to see how things go down in the next audiobook& book. Roger Clark & Rhett C. Bruno, & Jaime Castle make an excellent pair. Kudos to you guys for coming up with such an amazing series and I look forward to the next book in the series. :)

The performance was perfect and only faltered towards the end.

I love both the wild west and fantasy and this is a perfect blend that leans more towards the western elements proudly.

What a tale!!

Bruno and Castle deliver again. This was a great story with all the twist, turns and controversial themes. I had to keep reminding myself that this was fiction. Crowley and his faithful steed find themselves in a heap of trouble this time. Fallen angels, Marie Lavoie, werewolves, vampires, and nepharim are all in the mix. Well written and well narrated. I am so ready for Crowley's next adventure.

Give me more Crowley!

What an insane ride, absolutely loved every second of it, Can't wait for more craziness!

It just keeps getting better

There are few works that grab you this is one of them. The characters are rich developed and refined. The story has twists turns and holds on.
