Synopsis

They are my harvest, and I will reap them all.Returning to Guthrie, Oklahoma, for the funeral of his mysterious and beloved aunt Sue, Adam Binder once again finds himself in the path of deadly magic when a dark druid begins to prey on members of Adam’s family. It all seems linked to the death of Adam’s father many years ago—a man who may have somehow survived as a warlock.Watched by the police, separated from the man who may be the love of his life, compelled to seek the truth about his connection to the druid, Adam learns more about his family and its troubled history than he ever bargained for, and finally comes face-to-face with the warlock he has vowed to stop.Meanwhile, beyond the Veil of the mortal world, Argent the Queen of Swords and Vic the Reaper undertake a dangerous journey to a secret meeting of the Council of Races . . . where the sea elves are calling for the destruction of humanity.

Goodreads review by Bradley on February 08, 2022

Some people's families have issues. Major issues. Of course, if that family happens to be in rural Oklahoma, certain things can get a little tricky... especially when magic, soul-sucking murderers, Elves, DEATH GODS, and funeral flower thieves get involved. From the first book in the series to this o......more

Goodreads review by Trish on February 09, 2022

Some families have skeletons in their closets. This family has one ... well, it should be somewhere but it isn't. To make up for it, there is another body somehwere else. I guess it was to be expected (though in a slightly different way, maybe) after what we found out in the previous book, but it st......more

Goodreads review by Scratch on August 29, 2022

I didn't enjoy this book as much as its predecessor. My four-star rating is also questionable. I honestly was unsure about any rating between 2 stars and 5, so I guess I split the difference in favor of supporting LGBTQ fiction. The protagonist, Adam, appeals to me as a mage with very little power. W......more

Quotes

“The author’s evocative prose marries dark fantasy with trailer-park grit, resulting in a style that feels distinctly grounded even when it’s describing magical occurrences…[With its] relentless pace, complex characters, and inventive turns…more fantasy novels could use a dash of the trailer park.” Kirkus Reviews

“Thrilling, well-crafted…The interweaving of Adam’s and Vic’s quests builds satisfying tension on the way to an unresolved ending that sets things up nicely for the next installment. The result is an emotionally rich page-turner.” Publishers Weekly

“In Trailer Park Trickster, David R. Slayton doubles down on everything that made his first book great: a complicated world, dangerous magic, a likable protagonist, dark family secrets, and, of course, authentically painful (or is that painfully authentic?) love. I can’t wait for more!” Gregory Ashe, author of the Hazard and Somerset mysteries
