The Broken Bard Chronicles #1
Honkytonk Hell
Hey there, name's Tough. I come from a long line of demon hunters, but I've never been interested in the family business. I actually like playing for tips down at my local bar. That's where the booze and the women hang out.
Problem is, now that the rest of my family's been destroyed, everybody expects me to save the world.
All Tough Whitney ever wanted was to play his guitar and sing, but born into a family of holy soldiers expected to save the world, that was never an option. Worse yet, their mission failed. Humanity lost the war with the fallen angels, and the world fell into the hands of Hell.
For ten long years, Tough’s been trying to drown his conscience in music, booze, and women. But when his brother is enslaved by the fallen angels they grew up fighting, Tough can’t hide anymore.
My days are numbered anyway. Might as well take some fallen angels down with me.
Warning: The Broken Bard series is intended for a mature audience. Tough manages to keep his sense of humor intact through some deeply disturbing scenes, including sex, violence, torture, and alcoholism. It's not a story for the faint of heart.

About the author
Eden Hudson
53 books315 followersI am being forced against my will by Goodreads to have a capital E at the beginning of my name, even though the correct spelling is "eden." So there's that.
But also . . .
I am invincible. I am a mutant. I have 3 hearts and was born with no eyes. I had eyes implanted later. I didn't have hands, either, just stumps. When my eyes were implanted they asked if I would like hands as well and I said, "Yes, I'll take those," and pointed with my stump. But sometimes I'm a hellbender peeking out from under a rock. When it rains, I live in a music box.
But I'm also a tattoo addict, coffee junkie, drummer, and aspiring skateboarder. Jesus actually is my homeboy.

March 9, 2022I read a previous version of this. I'm not entirely sure why I have this one on my shelf too. But I'll just link to my previous review (4-stars, from 2019).
