White Trash Warlock by David R. Slayton

Genre(s): antasy, LGBTQ+

Guthrie was a good place to be from, but it wasn’t a great place to live, not when you were like Adam, in all the ways Adam was like Adam.

Adam Binder hasn’t spoken to his brother in years, not since Bobby had him committed to a psych ward for hearing voices. When a murderous spirit possesses Bobby’s wife and disrupts the perfect life he’s built away from Oklahoma, he’s forced to ask for his little brother’s help. Adam is happy to escape the trailer park and get the chance to say I told you so, but he arrives in Denver to find the local magicians dead.

It isn’t long before Adam is the spirit’s next target. To survive the confrontation, he’ll have to risk bargaining with powers he’d rather avoid, including his first love, the elf who broke his heart.

The Binder brothers don’t realize that they’re unwitting pawns in a game played by immortals. Death herself wants the spirit’s head, and she’s willing to destroy their family to reap it.

Goodreads / Amazon

White Trash Warlock is a story about Adam Binders who was admitted by his elder brother Robert to a psych ward for seeing/hearing what he isn’t supposed to see/hear. Years later, Robert -the same brother who would cut his fingers before admitting the existence of other worlds- was obliged to call his younger brother’s help when his wife Annie‘s health condition seemed to be more than just that; she’s somehow possessed by a spirit.

Things gets more complicated as Adam discovers more and more about the spirit and he find himself in situations he had always avoided.

I think the first thing that should be mentioned is how well this was written. I wasn’t really having any expectations when I started reading it, I just knew it was fantasy -I don’t read blurbs because I’m afraid it may contain some spoiler(s), which it does sometimes. However, I was blown away by how much invested I was since the first chapters.

I loved how well the characters were described, and how the main character isn’t like the super powerful hero that would save the world PS.He did the “save” thingy. I mean, that would be cool too, but the fact that he wasn’t made the story more interesting.

I really like how things make sense even though it’s supposedly unrealistic –maybe it is. The plot was greatly constructed and… I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and you should too because it’s GOOD!!
