If I hadnโt seen it for myself, Iโd swear it couldnโt be true: my brother, Christian, living in a trailer park in some backwater town, working at a karaoke bar. Weโre talking about Christian, the cultured, the refined, the snobbyโthe guy whoโd probably sniff the plasma packets and send โem back in a huff if the blood type wasnโt the right vintage. But after centuries of living in the undead fastlane, heโs made up his mind that this is exactly where he needs to spend the rest of eternity, atoning for his many, many, sins. Itโs a self-imposed purgatory complete with lawn ornaments and blaring country music.
But sometimes things just donโt work out like you think they will. Sometimes your hell can turn into your heaven. And thanks to Christianโs 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 relationshipโwe are talking about a womanโs whoโs only dated dead-beats, and a guy whoโs only dated the dead. Nobodyโs perfect.
Still, itโs 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.
