Publisher's summary
The Witcher meets the The Dresden Files in this Weird Western tale by the Audible number one best-selling duo, performed by Roger Clark (Red Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan).
James Crowley met his mortal end in a hail of gunfire. Now, he finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away.
His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm.
This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a Western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff. But the local cobbler has gone missing at the same time as a number of graves were desecrated.
Crowley must follow the clues, all while dealing with a cutthroat gang that treats Dead Acre like they own it, an extraordinary woman who makes it hard to focus, and locals not keen on strangers.
Life isn’t simple for a Hand of God.

Story
When a magical plague is released in a Depression-era New York soup kitchen, private detective Alex Lockerby finds himself in a desperate hunt to catch a madman before he can strike again. His investigations lead Alex to a famous thief, a daring heist, and the search for a mythic book of ancient magic, but none of that brings him any closer to finding the man responsible for the massacre. With the police and New York’s Council of Sorcerers desperate to find the culprit, Alex becomes a suspect himself, thanks to his ties to the priest who ran the soup kitchen.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

When the Black Harrier gets a mysterious note, then goes missing in New York City, things are pretty much left up to me. But don’t worry...I’ve got this.

Make a wish. The words have haunted Rashmi since she first heard them whispered the night before her mother died, when she was just 10 years old. Rashmi’s mother used to tell her stories of a magical garden lit only by the moon, whose blossoms grant wishes. For years, Rashmi believed the whisper somehow came from the mysterious moon garden of her mother’s stories and that her own failure to respond—to wish—may have cost her mother her life.

One of the Best I’ve Read in 2020
I knew going into this that I was going to either love it or hate it as it started. I say that because I know that sometimes western-style stories like this can rub me the wrong way (usually because the narrator or author tries to hard to make it sound “twangy” even if that’s how they talked.) What you get here, due to Roger Clark’s narration, is an excellent story with near-perfect narration. Because I’m familiar with his voice from RDR2 (he’s Arthur Morgan) within the first seconds I had a smile on my face. It was an absolute match made in heaven between this story and his narration.
The first parts of this reminded me a lot of Tom Abrahams The Watchers series. It had a similar main character and a similar story-line. But once you get into the meat of it (more so the monsters) this ended up taking a completely different turn. One that I enjoyed a lot!
Dead Acre, at it’s core, was a story about redemption. James Crowley’s life ended in a hail of gunfire, but now he’s sent back to a town to save it from… something (he’s not even told). He just knows it’s something evil. What he stumbles across was both scary and awesome. There were a few times that he was in a situation where I was sure he wasn’t going to get out of it.
Overall, Dead Acre was a fantastic story with a lot of heart. The scenes where he could view the last moments of someone’s life are easily one of my favorites and I’ll likely remember that part of this more than almost anything else. Throw in the perfect narration (and perfect pairing of story and narrator) and you have one of the best stories I’ve read in 2020.

Absolutely shattered my expectations
These authors can write, and wow, what a trifecta with the narration of Roger Clark. This is a fast paced read with loads of action and great prose. This is a great, short fix for Dresden fans. Could absolutely see this as a series and hope it happens. Don’t miss out on this expertly narrated gem. Even if it's not your normal genre, I would bet my Peacemaker that you will enjoy it!
