Summary
Promises, rules, bones; Erin Banks will break them all.
Unscrupulous and lethal, Erin has everything she needs to be an assassin in a world full of mobsters, monsters, and magic.
She wasn’t born with powers, but thanks to her Uncanny Ink - arcane tattoos that transform her body into a magic-fueled killing machine - she’s more than a match for anyone dumb enough to stand between her and getting paid.
Fresh out of prison, Erin wastes no time getting back to what she does best: running down wanted men and claiming their bounties.
But when a powerful demon lurking in a black cathedral hires her to round up an errant soul, the creature offers a reward far more valuable than money.... He offers Erin the key to unlocking her tragic past. The key to the mystery surrounding her long-lost brother.
Magic, scares, and acid-tongued snark collide in this thrilling urban fantasy series set in the Uncanny Kingdom. Buried secrets and whiplash twists will keep you riding the edge of your seat. Listen to Bad Soul now for a pulse-pounding tale you won’t be able to pause.

“Punching werewolves in the nuts”
I’ve loved every Uncanny Kingdom book I’ve come across so far and this is no exception.
Filled with brilliant characters, banter and of course storyline!
Easily my favourite Urban Fantasy world!
I can’t wait to listen to more!
Great narration too that perfectly suits the character and brings out the dark comedy of the book!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Uncannily good
Narrator: Helena Little
I love the uncanny kingdom world and this story, book 1 in the uncanny ink series, does not disappoint in any way.
The wit and snarkiness make it a fun read and with the uniqueness of the world these books easily grab your attention and keep it.
These two authors really do know how to make magic happen and long may they continue.
This narrator does a fantastic job at bringing the story to life.

Great easy read
The First book in a new thrilling urban fantasy series set in the Uncanny Kingdom is an amazing, awesome read.
It features Erin banks, who is bad, bad, bad and deadly at what she does.
Expertly penned, it has everything that the Uncanny Kingdome is renowned for.
Magic abounds as Demons, monsters, mobsters, old friends and vivid and interesting new characters join the fray in this fantastic new story.
Full of action, with lots of sarcasm and humour, the various scenes hold the reader in suspense from page one.
The Author has created a story (but what a story!) that is exciting to read, is well laid out, hard to put down and leaves the reader wanting more when it is finished. Recommended!
I look forward to the next book in the series.
Gifted with a copy which I voluntarily reviewed

Brilliant
ok this book is so much fun, I love Erin. I love that she is tough as nails, take no shit, get the job done but at the same time so incredibly human, making mistakes and falling for the same lie again and again.
Helen Little does a brilliant job of bringing Erin and the others to life and brings a real sense of fun to the character.
I'm looking forward to more of Erin's misadventures in the world of the uncanny

Interesting
This story is a bit different from other Uncanny kingdom's, IMO. There is a lot of telling, I think the reason for this is the length of the book, it's short and we got a lot of story in there. From the way she is able to use magic, which is amazing BTW since she is human, to how she end up as assassin and imprisoned, and finally the job she had to do after being released from prison. It's very fast paced, but I felt it was too fast, some things too glossed over.
But even so, I enjoyed the story and the writing is, like always, amazing. My main problem was the main character. Erin is not a likable character, with lack of morals and juvenile attitude of a 15 y/o. I find her with little depth and not always her actions made sense.
I'm curious about what's going to happen next since at the last minute, my favorite character of the Uncanny kingdom appears!
I think Helena Little was a good choice for Erin's character. She has a strong and more mature voice, giving a little more depth to the character. She also does some cool different voices for each character, it's amazing the amount of voices she is able to deliver.

Humor and action!!
This is the second series I listen to from this author, and I love it as much as the first one. I especially like the humor and the non-stop jokes. Every sentence is a witty remark! And the book is action-packed from start to finish. Looking forward to book 2 already!

Demon jobs eh? Everyone knows they're the best!
Well, this is something both fun and new for me. I’m not one of those readers who will read, then reread a book again. And, possibly, even adding in a few more agains.
I’m pretty much a one-n-done reader, figuring there are certainly at least five other books out there waiting for me to read. Possibly even six.
Add to this that I had only just read these first three of Erin’s adventures. So why not continue on along and pick-up on with one of those titles I hadn’t read yet? Why turn around and repeat things again so soon? But then I had been offered these new, shiny tokens. These little magic coins that had been given to me, all just to allow my ears a chance to get in on this story fun.
And am I ever glad that I did!
Being a relative newbie to the world of the spoken book, I truly enjoyed this Audible.
Okay, so there weren’t any surprises jumping up for me story-wise since I had just so recently read the material. But the flow of the story was lovely to hear. I certainly had my own idea of what Erin’s voice would sound like, but hearing it by way of Ms. Little's narration was a delight! Her particular touch of sass sounded so pitch-perfect. Not at all matching what I had in mind while I was first reading, but here, she sounded so very Right!”
I usually lean more toward Mysteries or Science Fiction. Fantasy had never mixed well with me, but lately, the realm of Urban Fantasy has been fun for me. And Erin Banks is quickly turning into a full-on Fav for me. David and Matt are building a wonderful place to come around as a visit with their Uncanny Kingdom books. And now Audibles!
And I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time with them in the future.

Have read others from this author
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I usually read the uncanny books, but it was fun to have someone read it to me. Helena Little was fantastic as the narrator. I would definitely recommend this book. My only complaint was that it was too short.
