Trailer Park Bikini Vampires
Dean Castle arrived at Evermoon Hollow with nothing but his truck, his toolbox, and a whole lot of guns. Now he's the sole human handyman in a survival commune filled with gorgeous vampire women. With their unique diet compromising their strength, they need not only his practical skills but also his killer instinct to survive. Building plumbing systems, blasting monsters, scavenging the wasteland, and unlocking supernatural powers with an unlikely fey companion—all in a day's work for our hero.
But this settlement needs work. Between defenses against military-grade monsters, sustainable water systems, and infrastructure that can withstand whatever hell the wasteland throws at them, Dean's got his hands full. Good thing he excels at handling demanding projects, and even more demanding ladies.
When the world's gone to hell, there's nothing like being the last man standing—especially when you're standing in a trailer park full of admiring vampire women.
Complete with a brief foreword by Michael Dalton and a cast full of quirky characters, TPBV promises to be one of the most memorable base-building books you'll read all year.

I picked this book up because I look for novelty in my reading. I had certainly never read anything like this previously. There are banger action scenes, interesting world building in a post-apocalyptic setting needing resource management and base-building that somehow also has fairy magic that works like a video game leveling up, and, yes, both sex and love. The style is reminiscent of the humor of Douglas Adams, Esther Friesner, and Terry Pratchett alternating with the pulse-pounding action of military fiction.
The internet explains that the title should fit into a genre is called harem lit. The descriptions of what harem lit entails do not align very well with my interests and tastes. Yet this book works for me, possibly for the same reasons that I see low ratings by other folks who wanted a different type of book.
What Works for Me
Trailer Park Bikini Vampires has well-developed characters relatable in their human reactions (even the non-humans) in a post-apocalyptic setting with a lot of fun humor in addition to solid action. This is a good story about a group trying to protect their interests in the post-apocalyptic setting with some extra constraints due to the vampirism that happens to have explicit sex that is upfront about polyamory and even group sex.
Main character Dean arrives at the trailer park to be a handyman. In addition to the vampires, which were a surprise to Dean and definitely not in the job ad, Dean ends up connected to a fairy (Tinky) as a chosen one to save the world by doing something like running video game levels by saying funny and usually suggestive lines at opportune moments to get more magical powers. This was a fun aspect of the book that resonates directly with my Gen X pop culture self who loves Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Esther Friesner.
The internet tells me that base-building is the relevant genre term for the parts of the book that focused on getting water (a scarce resource but absolutely necessary for the vampires to maintain their health, hence the bikinis because they must spend so much time in the pool being hydrated) through recapture, filtration, and a reservoir system. There was also setting up defenses against the monsters (totally realistic that the military would have been experimenting to make super monster soldiers that get loose) without visibly signaling to marauding bands of humans that the trailer park has things worth raiding and looting. There’s only so much one can count on for defense by obscurity and I appreciated the home improvement aspects by a man who tells dad jokes and goofs while being very capable.
The women in this book are fully fleshed out people who have individual interests, abilities, and motivations. Isadora Wing in Fear of Flying was unsympathetic and unrealistic to me. Susie, Minni, Milly Ann, Dolly, Delphine, and Tinky are more like Ayla in Auel’s books and my friends: whole people who also enjoy sex and can be bawdy about it in certain contexts.
While much of the context is unrealistic (and delightfully so), the human-to-human interactions are realistic. Dean has the friendliest of friends who have different emotional needs and necessitate code switching on Dean’s part to be in the moment with the person involved, not some nebulous interchangeable woman trope distinguishable only by hair/eye color, breast size, and butt dimension. I feel the love that Dean develops for each unique woman as well as the love that each woman has for Dean. Dean feels protective of his friends, yet they are people in their own right, not extensions of Dean’s ego existing only to service him.
Other thoughts
This is not a literary work, although what comes to mind as I read is midtwentieth century discussions of what constitutes obscenity versus literary merit that happens to have explicit sex. I am familiar with works like Fanny Hill, Naked Lunch, and The Mammoth Hunters. TPBV is much more like The Mammoth Hunters (depicting pleasurable sex as a normal part of life) than doing anything for shock value.
The one-on-one sex scenes generally work as realistic explicit depictions of sex that is alternately loving, playful, and intense. I hope folks of impressionable age incorporate these kinds of human interactions into their mental models. The group sex scenes are not to my taste and I dearly hope those were over-the-top parodies of harem lit. The shift in tone and style lend evidence to the hope.
All in all, this was a good book that I enjoyed greatly and was pleased to be able to check out the next volume immediately from my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Humor: 3/5
Character depth: 2/5
Emotional impact: 2/5
Worldbuilding: 3/5
Originality: 3/5
That feeling when:
I stop at a gas station in the Middle East while, in the background, Iran is bombing nearby American bases. The sound of explosions keeps the gas station attendants on alert, ready to refuel incoming vehicles immediately. My car speakers are turned almost to maximum so the audiobook remains audible at 140 km/h on the highway. I roll down the window to tell the attendant what kind of fuel I need and how much to pump. Meanwhile, overpowering the sound of the explosions, the orgasmic moans of three vampires, a fairy masturbating, and a man’s uninhibited groaning fill the entire gas station. I blushed a little while reaching for the mute button on the touchscreen…
But let’s start at the beginning. The novel’s humor is excellent, it builds its world well, and it almost stands on its own even without the many sex scenes. Almost. There are one or two interesting characters, even if most of them feel rather empty and superficial. I’m not prudish, but quite a few of the sex scenes reach a point where even the act itself exceeds plausible human limits and dives deep into pure fantasy. For me, that takes away from the experience rather than enhancing it. Yes, I know, it’s all fiction and I shouldn’t be looking for realism in it, but still…
There’s a bit of Brandon Sanderson’s “I accept these words,” a bit of Matt Dinniman’s “New ability unlocked – Bonerang…”, so it’s not just simple porn, far from it… but I have the same issue with this as with all romantasy novels where sex is the main driving force: if you strip down the scenes in question, do you still have a complete novel, or does what remains feel lacking?
For the sake of variety, I’d say that now and then a novel like this is fine — something that not only makes you smile but also makes you blush — but I probably won’t make a habit of reading them.

I enjoy haremlit a lot. But this one is a bit too referential and cutesy.
Post-apocalypse. First vampires (and maybe others) came out of the closet and then the military started experiments that wound up with a plague of zombies pretty much taking out civilization everywhere.
Dean is a very transient jack-of-all-trades who did time in Afghanistan and so he knows his way around weapons and fixing things. He gets sort-of adopted by a trailer park inhabited by cute girl vampires who tend to wear bikinis. Dean then gets bonded with a foul-mouthed fairy girl and gets a magic interface that gives him new powers when he says "the right words". Yeah.
And the ability he gets is *exactly* what he needs to save his bacon at that precise moment.
Basically the book is too cutesy for words. And the magic is ridiculous.
But...
The vampire girls are interesting and quite different from each other. The fairy is charming in her own way. The sex is hot and the amount of sex is appropriate for the genre.
There are lots of setups for the next book.
All in all, an enjoyable haremlit adventure. But a bit too raw around the edges.

Mediocre
I decided to go with 3 stars for this, barely.
I think part of the problem is this feels like an homage to TPE but it’s no where near as well written. The story isn’t nearly as interesting and a lot of stuff feels campy, but not in a good way. The far magic system is just ridiculous, he says some random “words”, generally just some overtly sexual innuendo or phrase, and then suddenly the fae queen grants him a power…. It just feels trashy and stupid.
Also the constant pushing of “virgins” is just cringe. Like the multiple thousand year old vampire is still a virgin, but she is immediately in love and the MC is who she has been saving it for…. Right…..
I don’t hate the book, but it wasn’t really that good either. Not something I will actively tell people not to read, not definitely not something I will recommend either.

Not your Average Vampire Trailer park tale
What can I say when both these authors team up there’s gotta be a lot of hilarious over-the-top humor and cultural references. Let’s not get started about all the spice in this one. I’m a little burnt out myself on post apocalyptic tales but this one is definitely hands-down. Hilarious, and a lot of fun.

MC accent was TOO much!
PLEASE TONE DOWN DEAN'S ACCENT! it was too much, and inconsistent at that. You made someone who supposed served in Afghanistan sound like a dumb hillbilly at times. Coming from a southerner it was overkill. If that's what you were going for then great but it distracted from the story.

Wow what an amazing read
Great story set up and colorful and meaningful characters. Normally I would pass on this type of book - end of the world, but this book has excellent emotional investment, true character growth, and excellent humor. Very well written by two of my favorite authors. Bring on Book 2!

It isn't horrible but I didn't think it was interesting either. The characters seemed diverse enough for sure, and they were properly trashy, but it was just too trashy for me. I got triggered at the beginning by the MC going full-Southerner. Just wasn't into the story.

Spicy Armageddon
It breaks the fourth wall sometimes, so there's a plus. Next, is the balance of sex scenes and story. This is the second book of Virgil 's that I read. I look forward to reading more in the future

The best kind of Trailer Park.
I really liked this book, I hope they write another one or several ineffect. The book is light and moves along at a good clip. I like the main character Dean, and his trailer park ladies.

Very well done gentlemen!
I’m not a fan of LitRPG but this book may have changed that. It was funny, exciting and sexy! I’m excited to read the next one. ☝️

a vampire trailer park, oh joy
Having become a fan of Trailer Park harem novels, I must attest to the wonderfully well done premise of this first offering.
Could not put it down.

got about halfway through. really didn't enjoy it. the moment he starting super leaping all over the place and blasting gnolls with a magic shotgun was the straw that broke the camel for me.

Sometimes, disbelief has to be suspended..like halfway to the Moon. Still, it's a fun read

DNF @ 27%. MC accent is atrocious and ruined all dialogue scenes, but the premise was entertaining enough that I tried to tough it out, but then the fairy is introduced. She is incredibly annoying and every scene with her grated on my nerves. At this point I wasn't enjoying the story anymore and had to put it down. Additionally, sex =/= romance and this book has smut just for smut's sake. If that is what you are looking for then proceed, but if you are looking for an emotional connection between the characters beyond just lust, then I suggest reading other books.
