Stoke the fire and hold the line. No retreat, no surrender.
We punched the Syndicate on the nose, and now they’ve come for our House.
The Smiling Man has returned, and this time he’s brought a war. But in Pant-y-Giggles, we know how to fight fire with… well, largely banter and beer. But this time, I’ve invoked the Trial of Hospitality.
Three days and the Three Measures to survive.
The Butt and Beam must prove it is the perfect sanctuary for all who come to us. We have to keep our Hearth blazing, serve every strange Traveller that crosses our threshold, and fill our Lanes with enough joy to break a siege.
I’m Chris Holloway, and I’m done with playing nice. I have a dragon in my kitchen, a lightning witch in my cellar, a vampire guarding my door and… a Too-Far for everything else.
We’re going to kill them with kindness. And if that doesn't work? Well, my dragon has a genocidal Plan B
The Trials have begun. The barrel is tapped. And those damned Warlocks are about to learn why you never mess with a Landlord on his home turf.
Wow - Chris and the gang triumph over existential evil. A great story that stands on its own. Sure the sex is fun but I found myself skipping over those scenes to get back to this monumental battle of wits the story was so good Not to say I am against the sex. But the story is so good the sex scenes almost got in the way. So here is to hoping we see more of Chris, his crazy ladies and,of course, The Old Lady
These books really stand out from the genre. I actually wouldn’t think of them as books, so much as poetry. You can throw some chili peppers in a dish to add “spice”, or you can use those same peppers to create a gastronomical masterpiece served in a fancy restaurant with an amazing view - and a beautiful woman across the table.
Just the thought of this adventure continuing has put a smile on my face. Cassius and Bram have put together a list of characters that can make the twists and turns of an Irish road and turn them into a happy ending. Great job and hope your hard at work with book 4
One contrived hassle and hurdle after another. Stacking the deck and then makeshifting yet another escape. Some aspects of the entire story are likable enough, even charming. But overall…..Ugh. Done.
Three books tell a tale and so entertaining. None of the formula adventures here, but a new novel, well developed story line that has additions of characters who grow. Hope there are more installments in the works.
