![]() Years after his brother, Bobby, had him committed to a psych ward, Adam is ready to come to grips with who he is, to live his life on his terms, to find love, and maybe even use his magic to do some good. But for much of Adam’s life, that power has been a curse, hindering friendships, worrying his backwoods family, and fueling his abusive father’s rage. It’s a power that runs in his bloodline: the ability to see beyond this world and into another, a realm of magic populated by elves, gnomes, and spirits of every kind. Not all magicians go to schools of magic.Īdam Binder has the Sight. Slayton is sure to win plenty of fans.”–Publishers Weekly (starred review) The complex world-building, well-shaded depictions of poverty, emotional nuance, and thrilling action sequences make this stand out. It is 9 hours and 19 minutes run time thru Blackstone Audio, 2020, and I recommend that route if you like audio! Here’s the synopsis from Am*zon: The audio is narrated by Michael David Axtell and he rocks. Rate & Recommend: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for urban fantasy fans (I get into content a bit below).Publisher & Release: Blackstone Publishing, 2020.I had a lot of friends who read and enjoyed the series it so when I saw the first two books free on Audible, I didn’t want to miss out. This was 100% a Bookstagram made me do it read. Thanks for checking out my book & audiobook review of Trailer Park Trickster by David R Slayton! I obtained my copy through my audible membership and as always, all thoughts are my own ♥️ ![]() I’m a little bummed at lack of access to the audio for book three, so I’m keeping an eye out for it but the review may be delayed. Overall, I like that these books aren’t super long and I still feel like I got decent progress from the overall story arc. My favorite parts of the whole book include those with Spider the cat, and one scene where Vic’s mom gives some phenomenal relationship advice about forgiving and moving on. On page, I’m not sure how much I’d love the series but Michael David Axtell is a gem and I love the voices he does for everyone. I’m definitely enjoying this series more because of the audiobook. It got a lot darker than I thought it would! That all aside though, there are a few new characters and magics and tons of sarcastic banter to keep things interesting. The other thing is that there was a huge gap in the bonding, attitudes, and maturity levels of the characters and I would have liked to see a *tiny* but more of that onpage. I liked the plot and story more than book one. ![]() That said though, there’s a lot less “romantic content” which to me is a blessed relief. This isn’t helped by the fact that they hardly have any time together in book two here. The Adam & Vic dynamic didn’t do it for me though there’s not enough on page chemistry for me to believe that they’re actually in love with each other. ![]() I liked Vic’s point of view more than Bobby’s in the prior book. Obviously mayhem ensues from there, and we have two separate adventures (see synopsis). Trailer Park Trickster picks up a few weeks or months after White Trash Warlock, with a few brief updates to let us know what happened in-between books.Īdam is off to his hometown after a mysterious visit from Sue’s cat, and the family (plus Vic and Argent) decides to follow to show their respects. Meanwhile, beyond the Veil of the mortal world, Argent the Queen of Swords and Vic the Reaper undertake a dangerous journey to a secret meeting of the Council of Races…where the sea elves are calling for the destruction of humanity. Watched by the police, separated from the man who may be the love of his life, compelled to seek the truth about his connection to the druid, Adam learns more about his family and its troubled history than he ever bargained for, and finally comes face-to-face with the warlock he has vowed to stop. It all seems linked to the death of Adam’s father many years ago – a man who may have somehow survived as a warlock. Returning to Guthrie, Oklahoma, for the funeral of, Adam Binder once again finds himself in the path of deadly magic when a dark druid begins to prey on members of Adam’s family. They are my harvest, and I will reap them all. Publisher & Release: Blackstone Publishing, 2021Ī quick note on the audio: from the same publisher, 8 hours & 42 minutes long, once again narrated by Michael David Axtell.I reviewed book one recently, and you can click on White Trash Warlock to read that.There’s less “romantic” content (thankfully).Here’s what you need to know if you haven’t read the first book in the series yet, or are wondering about continuing: I’m off on my trip to the UK and finished listening to Trailer Park Trickster during the first of two flights!
