Forgiveness is a hollow prayer you only hear in your dreams.

Patrick Collins has spent years handling cases as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency, even as his secret standing in the preternatural world has changed. He should have confessed to his role as co-leader of the New York City god pack when he and Jonothon de Vere took up the mantle months ago, but he didn’t. Now that split loyalty will cost him at a time when he can least afford it.

Outmaneuvered, framed for murder, and targeted by the Dominion Sect, Patrick has to face a past full of lies to regain his freedom. Revealing the truth means he’ll need to give up the life that has defined him. Everything he’s fought to build with his pack is at stake, and losing them isn’t a price Patrick is willing to pay, but some choices aren’t his to make.

Jono knows they can’t cede any more territory if they want to win the god pack civil war spilling into the streets of New York City. But the souls of werecreatures are free for the taking when demons come to town and angels sing a warning no one can ignore. When Jono’s worst fear comes to life, and he loses the one person he can’t live without, the only option left is to fight.

Facing down the demons of their past and the ones in their present, Patrick and Jono will learn the hard way that some sins never wash away clean.

An Echo in the Sorrow is a 118k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot. It is a direct sequel to On the Wings of War. Reading the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.

Hailey Turner is evil. Evil and genius. Hailey Turner is an evil genius. I have been reading this series since book one, following Patrick Collins and Jonothan DeVere since the beginning. And each time a new book comes up in the series, I am convinced that this will be the one that isn’t as good as the previous one. And every time, I am so very happily proved wrong.

 

In this continuation of the war for control of the New York god-pack and our embattled pair of Patrick and Jono, Turner does it again. We get more pantheons of gods and more fae and more snacks for the adolescent dragon, Wade.

 

There is adventure and, my favorite part, the beautiful love bond between Jono and Patrick. These two continue to face off with everything in heaven and hell and in between. The faith these two have in each other is so compelling. There are supposed to be seven books in this series. Based on the rest of these, with each book even better than the last, I am so looking forward to seeing how it all comes together in the last one.

 

This is a master class in adventure, urban fantasy, and how to incorporate folklore into your fiction.
