Shotguns and Shifters

Trailer Park Vampire, Book 1

By: J.R. Rain, H.P. Mallory

Narrated by: Angie Hickman

The day the red fog rolled in, everything in Windy Ridge changed.

Neighbors and friends I’d grown up with got turned into wolfmen, lizardmen, gargoyles, and other unmentionables.

As for me? I got turned into a vampire.

Most folk thought the rapture was upon us, but soon it was fairly obvious that we weren’t playing witness to some holy event. In fact, I was fairly sure we’d just witnessed something mostly unholy.

Regardless, life in our little town in the middle of the Ozarks returned to what passed for normal.

Until two human outsiders rolled into town.

Because I was one of few residents who still appeared human, I was responsible for making sure the town went into hiding until them humans moved right on out again.

But what I wasn’t planning on was the fact that one of the strangers was none other than Dean Hawke, a man I hadn’t seen in 23 years—a man who also happened to be my high school sweetheart.

But wait. There’s more!

Not only had my ex-boyfriend walked right back into my sorry life, but he was also the newly appointed "Sheriff of Windy Ridge"—and his first assignment was investigating accounts of a naked man who was terrorizing locals.

Now if that weren’t enough to ruin a vamp’s day, Sheriff Dean Hawke, like George Clooney, had only gotten better with age, and I was pretty sure all those real deep looks he kept giving me had their own kind of meaning.

But between trying to keep the town’s secret under wraps, spearheading my own investigation into the naked man with a bunch of hillbilly monster chasers, working my shift as a waitress at the local diner, and trying to smother my ardor for a certain human sheriff, I’m thinking life might be easier if I packed up my daughter and caught the next train to Transylvania, leaving Windy Ridge far, far behind.

Fun Story

A fun story. Good characters and an interesting story line. The narration was good and you could tell the different characters.

Delightfully Different and Sooo Good!

When the red fog rolled in, everything and EVERYONE changed at Rivers Edge! And then, when a new sheriff comes to town, things REALLY get interesting! Brilliant, different and delightful, “Shotguns and Shifters” is a stunning, imaginative delight! I loved the characters, so BRILLIANTLY created, detailed, and described. I can’t even begin to go into detail for fear of giving up spoilers! Just know my jaw dropped and my amusement knew no bounds! The plot is equally imaginative, and so beautifully executed that I had no trouble keeping up! The dialogue is pure creative genius and had me in stitches! The narration that brings this story, and these characters to life is astounding, perfectly complimenting both the characters, and the storyline! This entire presentation is absolutely incredible! I loved everything about this fabulous series starter and … I … want … more! Five incredible stars! Don’t pass this one by!

This was a Hoot!

I Really enjoyed this Story and the unusual town and residents. It was amusing to read about all the different folks and their oddities.
The Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline. Looking forward to book #2 when it comes out on Audible

Great Story

The story was great and the reading was well done . Hopefully the other books in this series will become available on Audio format.

Fun and a little different

The narration of this story definitely enhanced the listening experience. She reminded me of the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series. The characters are funny and the story improbable but great fun to listen to.
