Really good but really short

Expected a longer story as the price for it was the same as book in the series. That's really the only issue. Great story.

Impressive for a short story

Good narrator & story is entertaining enough I listened straight through. I like the characters & it was all intriguing enough I want to hear more!

Proof That Bones Alone Can Carry A Tale

I was uncertain about purchasing this book that was Pre-Cat, but was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. In fact, I think I liked it even better than the Cat and Bones stories. Cat is a bit whiny and annoying sometimes. Bones strutting around New Orleans on the hunt was sexy as hell. I very much enjoyed this prequel. Thank you, Jeaniene!

Awesome Bones before Cat

I’ve listened to Bones/Cat books but never noticed this book with Bones before meeting Cat. I loved it, and I think anyone who reads or listens to the later books will too.

As always, the narration is beyond amazing!!

Nice!

This is a good look at who Bones is before we meet him in Halfway to the Grave.

The man is on the hunt of a pair of serial killers of the undead variety.... things get a little hairy to say the least but, it was a good, quick story!

Good storyline, way too short to pay full price.

Enjoyable, and decent storyline. Seemed somewhat crammed together. Not worth paying a full Audible credit.

Reckoning

Honestly Bones' "voice" annoys me a bit. Love the story and I've read other books in the series. I'm going to keep listening. Great story, good pace, I would definitely recommend.
