Secondhand Skin: A Soulbound Universe Novel by Hailey Turner; Narrated by Gary Furlong

Secondhand Skin brings together author Hailey Turner with Gary Furlong once again! This is a side story from the Soulbound Universe.


From the blurb:

Nothing says you can’t steal a heart. Keeping it though? That’s another problem.

Wade Espinoza knows a thing or two about hoards. As a dragon, he’s got plenty. What he doesn’t have is a relationship, and he swears he’s not looking for one. But when he’s sent to Boston to answer a cry for help from another pack, he’s drawn into a mess of fae bargains centered around a selkie who Wade instantly becomes obsessed with.

Riordan Maguire is struggling to keep his selkie clan out of the clutches of a fae lord who will do anything to take over their territory. Partnering with the Boston god pack means coming face-to-face with the first person he’s ever wanted to willingly give his sealskin. Too bad Wade isn’t local and is something altogether strange that Riordan isn’t sure he can trust.

Amidst a growing danger in the streets and Boston Harbor, Wade and Riordan are desperate to find a way to keep everyone safe. For bargains are dangerous things to break, but so are hearts. Wade isn’t willing to shatter either of theirs in a race against time that could see Riordan torn from him forever.


Molly Otto's review:

Gary Furlong & Hailey Turner made that perfect match every single time in the Soulbound series. Gary just has a way of making Haileys words ever more powerful you feel all the emotions! So happy to see their continued working together on these side stories from the main series that will always be a part of me.

This is not a drill it's time for Wades story at last! Be prepared and have snacks on hand, or you will have to pull me and buy some to continue on or just become hungrier.

Wade is called to help in Boston, where he meets their head supes, including Riordan Maguire, a selkie who he's drawn to like no other. In this fun story, we get to revisit past events with Wade nonchalant way of talking about how he knows what he does. The Maguire family is awesome. They are gonna fit well without our beloved god pack. Once they behave, that is. Like the rest of Hailey's Soulbound universe be prepared for non-stop action with twists and turns coming from every direction.
