Dang: Episode 1

Dang #1

by Rob D. Smith

Trailer parks. Rednecks with ambition. Media coverage. Murder. Moonshine and a pinch of Skoal.

Willem collects and sells "biofuel/fertilizer," and he's well over knee-deep in inventory. When Murven, his out-of-work best buddy, volunteers to help him with his daily collection, they discover Willem is stockpiling more than he bargained for as an "entre-manure." Once the sheriff gets involved, Willem's past and Murven's general reputation slingshot them both to the top of the suspect list. With a little help, they escape custody and fight to clear their names of murder. As the news spreads, every redneck in the county and beyond -- family, friend or foe -- wants a piece of Willem and Murven's 15 minutes of infamy.

Dang is such a breath of fresh air! Sometimes everyone needs a little comedy in a serious thriller story. If you enjoy either of these genres this book is for you! Being from the south I think that the stereotypical redneck is hilarious. I laughed so much at the things that were said by Willem and the other cast of characters in this book. I also love that it is an ongoing series, and reading Episode 1 made me hungry for more! I am so thankful to have won this in a GoodReads give away, and even more thankful that the author sent me Dang: Episode 2 so I don't have to wait for Amazon to ship it to me!

Hilariously entertaining, the adventures of Willem and Murven are light hearted yet emotional. I loved the novel and can not wait to read episode 2! I am thankful to have won the giveaway.

I was pretty wrapped

Up in this story, and then it was over. I liked the storyline, and the characters were totally believable. Sadly enough, I hate cliffhangers like this.
