GRAVE BEGINNINGS is brought to audio by Nick J Russo. A supernatural adventure that will have you turning pages quickly to learn more about this new world, with two interesting and compelling main characters, navigating dangerous investigations while becoming a special bonded pair.
From the blurb:
The dead call to Jude. His heart calls to Angel. Both could be his undoing.
Former Homicide Detective Jude Holt's gift for raising the dead is as dangerous as it is useful. His transfer from the human division to the supernatural means facing darker crimes, impossible cases—and one infuriatingly hot new partner.
Angel Mao has seen plenty of rookies burn out fast. But Jude is stubborn, reckless, quirky, and far too tempting for a human whose magic attracts shadow monsters at every turn. Together, they're the only ones who can stop a murderer from ripping open the Veil and leaving bodies in their wake.
Jude isn't sure raising the dead can help him solve a murder—or stay alive long enough to try. But survival means trusting his partner with his life, and his heart.
Tags: They transferred me to the Supernatural Enforcement Division because I can see dead people; my new partner is a hot shifter whose idea of a welcome gift is a warning snarl; between his resting murder-face and my sudden ability to attract every sup in the city, our "grumpy/sunshine" dynamic is less "cute romance" and more "impending disaster;" found family? More like found a bunch of cryptids who think I'm a supernatural juice box.
Molly Otto's review:
Nick J Russo proves why he is such a dynamic narrator once again for this audiobook! He makes all the emotions even more powerful, you feel everything these characters are experiencing on a whole new level in his awesome narrative skills. I cannot wait for more of this world to be brought to life.
Well that is one way to kick off a series. Jude is having a month but hey its all for the good in the end, maybe. Jude is a ball of snarky energy, lover of all cats, who just happens to now have powers no one can wrap their head around. After being ousted for being a variant is sent to the the Supernatural Enforcement Division, SED, without his say to be put with a team that don't trust him. Angel having been with SED for years is paired with Jude and doesn't trust the transfer yet is drawn to protect him. They dont have an easy start but its fun to see how it plays out to see Jude learning his new life along with Angel slowly introducing the bad along with all the good.
Overall it was a fun take on the fated mates genre where they may have attraction immediately but that doesnt mean they don't take their time getting to understand each other. Looking forward to see how their bond strengthens over the books. As well as seeing the rest of SED and how they handle the new changes being sent their way.
