Dead Acre by Jaime Castle, Rhett C. Bruno
4.0
This is the prequel launching the Black Badge series. Rhett C. Bruno & Jaime Castle are new-to-me authors and this is a genre that I’m still pretty new at – but I truly enjoyed this story.
Despite being only 3.5 hours, they offered a nicely developed world and characters. I love how Crowley is just dropped into a town and has to figure out why he’s there. The listener gets to discover the town and mystery right along with him. Investigating a missing person and finding the culprit leads to interactions with lycanthrope, necromancers, and annoying town folks.
Great listen and I’m looking forward to Cold as Hell which releases next week.
Narration:
Roger Clark is also new to me. (Well, sort of. I knew I recognized his voice from somewhere and I couldn’t figure it out. Finally played a bit of Dead Acre for my older teen and he immediately said, “That’s Morgan from Red Dead Redemption.” Mystery solved!) Clark was perfect for the not-exactly-undead Crowley and wild west setting. Entertaining listen.
