Adam Binder’s life has never been better. Sure, he has no money, no car, no home to call his own, and he’s worried about creating a future with his boyfriend Vic, but he’s closer to his family than ever before. He’s also Page to the Elven Court of Swords, and that appointment is not without its perks—like the invisible sword strapped to his back.
But on Halloween night, Adam’s life takes a disturbing turn. Annie, his brother’s long-lost wife, turns up on her husband’s doorstep alive and well, with no memory of her death. But is it really Annie, or a Trojan horse from some new magical enemy?
To uncover the truth, Adam will need help from those he loves most—as well as a couple of friends at Rogue Community College. As he navigates a perilous maze of magical politics and battles terrifying creatures from beyond the known realms, Adam will discover a secret darker and more unsettling than anything he could have imagined.
will discover a secret darker and more unsettling than anything he could have imagined.
In Redneck Revenant, David R. Slayton has created an engaging and thoughtful continuation to his Adam Binder series. While not the first book in the series, it is easy to jump into the story and find out that Adam has settled into a good life and as the story opens, the hook captivated me.
What I like most in this book is that Adam’s life isn’t simple but I like the way the character solves problems, with thoughtfulness and engaging in the relationships surrounding him, his boyfriend Vic and his brother. The action is fast paced but more interesting is the puzzle that is Annie and the eventual resolution of the story leaving the world open for more mysteries.
If you like diverse and engaging urban fantasy, I suggest checking out the series. You might want to start with book one but I did find book 4 engaging and thoughtful. I love the characters and the beautiful relationships.
Rating: 5 out of 5 swords.
