Death Omen

Sunshine Walkingstick

by Celia Roman

My itchy feet drug me to the ATL one night for a light flirt, but I didn’t get me no r-and-r. Instead, I found a hobo, a ghost, and a trio of vampires, and me with my best weapons locked in the trunk of my daddy’s car.

That’d learn me to drive down to the city, if I made it off the Gold Line alive.

This is a dynamite short story, and a great addition to Sunshine Walkingstick's world!
It's simply tons of fun as Sunshine tries to work out what her options are in a train car that's mostly empty...  except for the ghost, 3 vampires, a homeless person, and a young woman... Where are the weapons when you need them?!?!?

Rebecca Winder once again gives voice to Sunshine,  rounding out her character with that lovely Southern Appalachian accent!

Sunshine has been through a lot lately. She gets a feeling that she must go to Atlanta. While she minding her business she gets approached by three vampires. I think this short is good way in introducing new characters. I cannot wait to see what happens with the favor is owned to Sunshine. I needed this short but now I am ready to experience more Sunshine.

I feel misled. On Storytel, this short story is listed as Part 1 of this series but it didn't make any sense at all and there are no other instalments available yet.
Yes it was kind of exciting and fun but also confusing and not enough happened to really get into the story or start to care about the monster killer. Not sure what to do with this offering. I need more context.

I purchased and listened to this book on Audible books.
This is a very Good short story of a train ride on the Subway on what was to be a night out to relax and play pool. Narrator as usual did a wonderful job.
