If I hadnβt seen it for myself, Iβd swear it couldnβt be true: my brother, Christian, living in a trailer park in some backwater town, working at a karaoke bar. Weβre talking about Christian, the cultured, the refined, the snobbyβthe guy whoβd probably sniff the plasma packets and send βem back in a huff if the blood type wasnβt the right vintage. But after centuries of living in the undead fastlane, heβs made up his mind that this is exactly where he needs to spend the rest of eternity, atoning for his many, many, sins. Itβs a self-imposed purgatory complete with lawn ornaments and blaring country music.
But sometimes things just donβt work out like you think they will. Sometimes your hell can turn into your heaven. And thanks to Christianβs chatty neighbor and boss, Jolee, things seem to be getting a whole lot nicer in Shady Fork Mobile Estates. Not that either of them has the first idea how to have a normal relationshipβwe are talking about a womanβs whoβs only dated dead-beats, and a guy whoβs only dated the dead. Nobodyβs perfect.
Still, itβs a start for Mr. Rebel Vamp Without a Cause. And fortunately he still has me, Rhys Young, and our younger brother, Sebastian, to help him. We plan to show Christian that eveyone deserves a second chance, and winning his beer-slinging, country-singing beauty is a great beginning.
