This is the follow-up book to the excellent novel White Trash Warlock. There is much to love in this series, first of all, David R. Slayton writes characters with a depth that is matched in the intricate details of the world he has created and is continuing to build with each chapter.
My favorite things about this series are:
*It's a rare paranormal adventure that takes place primarily in a tiny town in Oklahoma. We've had many urban fantasies, is now the time for rural fantasy? I'm here for both!
*The main character is in a same-sex relationship --again pretty rare.
*Adam Binder reminds me of Harry Dresden, he isn't the one with the most power but he will put himself on the line to save humans. Unlike Harry Dresden, Adam has some family and he hasn't decided he is unworthy of love. Harry seems pretty bent on believing he cannot have a relationship.
*The books deal with grief in a hopeful way.
*Everyone in the book is gray --ie no one is all evil or all good.
If you haven't started this series yet, now is a good time to start you can read books one and two and then preorder book three, Deadbeat Druid on October 18th!
