innatejames 's review for:
White Trash Warlock
by David R. Slayton
A gay witch stumbles into more than he bargained for when his estranged brother asks him to help with a paranormal issue in his family.
This was a fun read. I enjoyed the combination of realistic family drama and how half the family having fantastical powers changes the dynamic. Adam Lee Binder is an intriguing protagonist. The author does a good job of rounding out his character: he’s not all about his superhuman powers. And the love triangle that’s set up here was definitely a reason for me to continue reading.
I wish the book spent a little more time establishing the magic of this world. Like why Sara/Death is coy about her master plan when Adam sees her the first time. What’s the point of him going all the way up to Denver and help his sister-in-law if Sara’s orchestrating the whole thing? Why are the elf king’s son and daughter handling this MAJOR supernatural issue when it seems like the king has the power to quash it? Why aren’t there other human witches involved in this fight? Yes the spirit killed all the local witches, but isn’t the whole country filled with people like Adam?
Anyway, maybe these things are answered in the next Adam Lee Binder book. I don’t know. I haven’t decided if I want to continue with this series.
