This is my latest read in Tonia Brown's TRIPLE SHOT series, and... I think it may be my favorite so far.
Devil Drink: Butch Buchanan¹, the sheriff of Black Ridge & regular Good Old Boy, takes his new officer up the mountain to introduce him to Beulah Walker*. Officer Kirk Durham is like Simon Pegg in the beginning of HOT FUZZ - a straight-laced, by the book, kind of prudish guy, who arrived from a big city job - with a stick up his butt. The new officer doesn't take too kindly to Beulah, but he will soon find out that she is more than a mere bootlegger - the town of Black Ridge relies on her to keep the 'quo'
Sickened: There are some strange, old customs around - ones that we don't ever think of, or know exist. Some folks take these customs very seriously. This story is about the town's local Sin Eater², Clem. Somethin' he ate over at the Widow Baxter's last night isn't agreeing with him. In fact, it won't stop disagreeing with him! He's been vomiting something vile -and it won't stop. He makes it to the hospital to see Doc Pearson, a modern doctor who doesn't put much stock into what Clem claims to do. Nevertheless, he sees that whatever is wrong with Clem isn't something that his modern medicine can fix. Something else needs to be done.
Home Cooked Meal³: Life after the zompocalypse is not easy. Mary Shull is living day to day, on the road and on the run. Hungry, dirty, and tired - so tired - she's ready to pack it all in. If she was dead, well, undead, she wouldn't have to run anymore - just shuffle. And, she wouldn't be hungry anymore - food for zeds was easy to find. As for being dirty, two out of three ain't bad, besides - she supposed she wouldn't care much afterwards. Unexpected salvation comes in the form of Joshua Bender. Josh lives not far from where they are, and if she would like to come with him - he'd love to have her over for dinner.
This is only the base of my full discussion of TSO Southern Horror, there's much more on BBB - stop by and join in on the fun! There's background on Sin Eaters, footnotes, a couple notes to the author, and more!

Amazing
I borrowed this book with my Kindle unlimited subscription and I'm willingly leaving an honest review. I am new to this author I don't remember how I found her but I'm so glad u did. This book was great as it had me looking over my shoulder wondering what would happen next I highly recommend it and if pressed for time you can read it in one sitting I know I did I just didn't want to put it down once I started it.
