We all have places to be, jobs to do, but sometimes we find a book that spreads fire across our numb flesh. I review books with the fire to make me give up my black coffee in the morning for a cup of stinking veggie juice—something that makes me think outside my coffee cup. When I'm not reading, I'm painting and writing some words myself.

5 Stars for White Trash Warlock by David R. Slayton
This is a jewel of a book. I did not expect to like it so much especially when books like this heavily compete against the great Jim Butcher books. But, this book held up for a number for reasons. First, the magic had no plot holes in it. As if magic could, until you've been in one of those books and your like, "No that's not real. That wouldn't work." And then the whole book falls apart for you. Slayton has a tight lid on his magic. Second, is the dynamic between the brothers, Adam and Bobby is built with great backstory, but also the two brothers make a great foiled-up scene reminding me a lot of why I've watched Supernatural so much. Last, romance and love is pure and sweet and looks for little and big things that really matter in a mate. I highly recommend this book and I know I will read more Slayton.
