Lucky Town

A Badlands Novella, Book 1.5

De: Morgan Brice

Narrado por: Kale Williams

Psychic medium Simon Kincaide and his boyfriend, Myrtle Beach homicide Detective Vic D'Amato, find that the only thing more frightening than murder might be navigating their first holiday season as a couple.

A trip back to Pittsburgh to spend Thanksgiving with Vic's large, exuberant family means dodging old frenemies and a bitter ex-boyfriend. A cold case comes back to haunt Vic when a murdered woman's ghost begs Simon for justice. Then a new murder back in Myrtle Beach looks suspiciously familiar, and the dead man's ghost isn't playing nice.

When Simon gets a vision of the next victim before the crime occurs, he realizes that all the murders are supernaturally linked. Catching the murderer will take his psychic sleuthing skills along with Vic's street smarts to avert a tragedy.

Can they do right by ghosts past, present, and yet to come without ending up in the crosshairs of a killer for Christmas?

Short, Fast Read

Great characters. Fast paced with good times and bad. Too many sex scenes for me. But that is a personal preference. I enjoyed the story. It kept my attention and had a good ending.

Still sweet together

I loved listening to Simon and Vic in this new adventure. A Thanksgiving visit to Vic's family in Pittsburgh lands them in the middle of a murder investigation which pits them against dark magic and forces Simon to reach deep to help defeat the enemy and prevent anyone else from becoming a victim of the wrathful being. In the process of that investigation, Simon sees ghosts that implicate Nate, Vic's former partner and friend-with-benefits, in a case of police corruption. And through it all, up to and including the investigation that shows Simon's insights on Vic's former partner were on point, both he and Vic grow closer. Vic moved in with Simon, cementing their commitment to each other. Kale Williams's performance continues to be great. I especially love his evocation of Vic with that smoky tone of voice.

great novella

Great breather book after the events of Badlands. Where Vic & Simon move in together into the blue bungalow and get to know each other better where Vic learns to accept and appreciate all Simon's gifts and what they have to offer to the MBPD.
They goto Pittsburgh for Simon to meet the D'Amato clan for Thanksgiving and see what's like to be part of an amazing family who accept him for who he is🥰

kale Williams as usual brings these characters to life he makes you feel the suspense of the books great work!

MMy Thoughts and Review:

Vic is taking Simon home to meet his big Italian family for the Holidays. Simon is nervous, but knows it is important to Vic.

While the family part is great, accidentally running into Vic's ex, and getting a vision from a woman being haunted Simon feels he should reach out to a couple of local ghost detectives.

As time progresses and Simon gets ready for the Christmas season, back home in Myrtle beach, a woman reaches out frantically with no where else to turn. Everything seems to point back to the vision Simon had in Pittsburgh.

This story is filled with awesome characters, and scenes that put the reader in the center of all the action.

It is both fun and terrifying to learn fae and fairytales might be guilty for some of the suffering people in the story go through. 😱

Lots of creepy fun, packed with Holiday season cheer and loads of comfort and joy to balance out the evil.🎅👹🎅
