13 County Road 666 by C.L. McCollum
BOOK BLURB ON AMAZON
It’s the full moon again, and that means Melanie Smithson’s job just got a lot harder. She’s got a demon boss, a drunken werewolf tearing up the place, a long-time crush on her straight trans girl best friend, a toxic witch-with-benefits situation, and brand new interest in the aforementioned drunken werewolf.
But Mel’s relationship problems are hardly her worst problems.
A stranger appears on the property after a vicious attack by what looks like a rogue werewolf, but may be something even more sinister. Worse yet, one by one, Mel’s tenants turn up possessed and violent, forcing Mel to kill in order to protect herself and her other residents. Mel has to track down the one responsible for all the carnage before she risks losing one or more of the people she cares about.
But finding that killer may not save her from a monster much closer to home, and that confrontation may change Mel in ways she could never predict.
MY REVIEW
Full disclosure. I was on the editing team for this one, and have been talking about it ever sense – telling people to look out for it.
Being on the editing team means, basically, I got the equivalent of an ARC read. And I LOVED this book. As soon as I get discretionary income, I am going to pick a paperback for my trophy shelf … and reread it. I read it over a year ago for it (due to the length of time things take for publication) and I have been wanting to reread it ever since but couldn’t, ethically.
Let me tell you, when you want to reread a story after editing it … after seeing it at its “worst” … that is one heck of a book.
This is a FUN romp. Over 5% of all Americans live in trailers and mobile homes. In Urban Fantasy, that number would include werewolves and ghosts. Melanie Smithson, a human, has learned over time how to deal with those that live in the trailer park she manages at 13 County Road 666. But when the things that bump in the night get bumped, they expect her to keep things safe at home.
