Cul-de-Sac Carnage

Discount Dan's Backroom Bargains, Book 2

De: James Hunter

Narrado por: Steve Campbell

Welcome back, Bargain Hunters! Stock up. Lock down. And brace yourself for the sale of a lifetime.

With the shadow of the Flayed Monarch looming ever closer, Dan must prepare the store and himself for the battle to come. To stand a chance, he’ll need to expand his operations, broker a precarious trade deal with the Delvers of Howlers Hold, and transform his stash of relics into an arsenal of magical war crimes.

But first, he’ll need to carve a bloody path through the heart of the 24th floor—Eternal Suburbia. A hellish, never-ending labyrinth of tidy lawns, cookie-cutter houses, and homicidal homeowners. Few survive the lawnmower men, the feral Karens, the ever-ravenous Kannibal Kids, or the tyrannical HOA, which reigns supreme with an iron fist of petty rules and bloodstained bylaws.

With a gaggle of increasingly untrustworthy allies, and dangers lurking behind every perfectly trimmed hedge, Dan will need to do the impossible if he wants to beat the system and live to fight another day.

5 stars

I really really enjoyed this installment in the series. Good fun. Will definitely be buying the next.

It’s pretty good, but I don’t love everything about it.

It’s giving christion Metal, it’s sorta DCC esk, which is fun, but it’s got some not so fun undertones little bit of God and Jesus here little bit of trans and homophobia there. It’s one thing to your character to be like oh that’s not my cup of tea. But to outright be like oh I don’t even wanna think about that. It scares me. Is leaning into the shitty political climate, and I don’t appreciate it. However, it’s not enough to go off by itself. I’m not condemning the book or anything. It may be unintentional. But that’s why we leave comments.

can't wait for the next one!

The first book was good but I think it's better with each one. I can't wait for the third

Fantastic book!

The second title is even better than the last! You can tell the author is really fleshing his characters out! Love this and I want nay I demand more! Also Crock is so freaking lovable my god!

Love this series
