Dead Acre by Jaime Castle, Rhett C. Bruno
5.0
I just finished listening to this one yesterday, and I'm disappointed there wasn't more!
Dead Acre is a short listen (around 3:45:00, give or take), but it was incredibly enjoyable. It reminded me a great deal of Deadwood, Red Dead Redemption, and every other Western I've loved over my years as a reader, but with one cool twist: the MC is an "undead" sent back by Heaven to hunt down demons and monsters.
It's not as dark as you'd expect from a story like this, but has plenty of humor, an incredibly relatable main character, and the dusty-town flavor that makes for a fun Western.
I was dying to know more about the Heaven/Hell/angels/demons dynamic and the "Black Badge" that marks him, and the fact that it was so short means I didn't get enough of the "fantastical" aspects of it. But it was immediately engaging and has me dying to get my hands on the next book.
