Bones and Bagger

Waldlust Series, Book 1

By: Ted Minkinow

Narrated by: Colin Brown

My name is Gaius Teutoberg. Don't laugh, and I won't have to hurt you. My best friend stuck a knife in my back Friday night before quitting time. Not knife as in a word for betrayal, but knife as in metal and sharp. It collapsed my lung, ripped my clothes, and left me wondering how to explain all the blood. It's happened like that many times over the centuries. Sparky appears with some idiotic scheme that turns my life upside down.

Or maybe turns me dead.

My day job? I bag groceries and roll them to cars for tips at the American Commissary in Wiesbaden, Germany. I don't have a night job. Good thing, because I'm not a night person...even though I'm a vampire. So this latest Sparky-induced buffoonery begins with that knife in my back and progresses to a thousand-year-old shrine containing the bones of a legendary German hero and my first attempt at grave robbery. I'll battle a sexy Hungarian warrior-woman assassin, match wits and muscles with some ugly demons, and take a trip to the other side of the veil to save some people I've grown to love.

There's also an angel involved. A real one.

Bones and Bagger is the first book of my autobiography.

Great story, monotony reader

Good story, fast passed with good characters with many laughs.
The experience would have been much better by a more animated reader. Reminded me of a ten year old reading a book report in frunt of class. could have made 5 stars, but it "di-int.

a very pleasant read.

I enjoyed the blunt "F you in the face" start to the book where there is a metaphorical smashing of illusions and setting precedent for plot purposes. My only issue with the main character is somewhat 1 dimensional, but I bought book 2 and I'm hoping for a character progression similar to the Dresden Files.
