battlewhale 's review for:
White Trash Warlock
by David R. Slayton
Really enjoyed the first half of the book. But. Things really fell though at the end. It tried really hard to be grand with its end of the world antagonist, but the stakes felt so incredibly low because whenever anything bad occurred, it would be offset with a 180* turn to domestic trauma dumping.
The big bad escaped and killed a powerful creature, and in the next chapter Adam and his boyfriend are having a heart-to-heart in a Rainforest Cafe-type restaurant. It’s a rollercoaster of important, terrifying plot points and low stakes characters studies. It just jarring and not woven well together at all.
I was also hoping for this story to be about the two brothers working past their dislike of each other, and less about romance. Maybe there will be more of that in the next book.
Just disappointed because I liked the beginning so much.
