They died sixty-three miles into the best day of their lives.
Jack Maxton-tall, blond, PhD-holding smart-ass-picks up his adopted little brother Nate from prison with a gift: a brand-new Indian Super Chief motorcycle and a cross-country road trip to celebrate freedom. Two brothers. Two bikes. Open highway. Ice-cold beers waiting down the road.
Then an 18-wheeler turns Highway 89 into a slaughterhouse.
Dead? Absolutely. Done? Not even close.
They wake up in a morgue run by Farnsworth-a chipper British case manager from the other side of eternity-who rebuilds them in stronger, faster, demon-detecting bodies and hands them a job description from Hell. Literally.
Hunt the entities hiding behind corporate logos, Armani suits, and surgical scrubs. Expose the nightmare. Send every last hell-spawn screaming back through the hole it crawled out of. Try not to get decapitated again.
The conspiracy Jack and Nate uncover in San Francisco-so depraved it makes actual Hell look like a corporate retreat-will test everything they are. Their brotherhood. Their faith. Their sanity.
From blood-soaked Chinatown alleys to neon-drenched strip-club exorcisms, from biker bar demon infestations to a medical center basement where the screaming never stops, Jack and Nate-along with the fierce Tabby and the awkwardly brilliant Curt-form the Knights Errant M/C and carve a path of shotgun justice, improvised holy relics, and snark sharp enough to shave a demon's horns.
Fair warning: underneath all the blood and profanity, these two idiot brothers actually love each other. It's disgusting. You'll probably cry. Don't say we didn't warn you.
A 21st-century Faustian biker bromance that collides with urban fantasy, grindhouse horror, and high-octane action-slinging the kind of gallows humor that would make Deadpool blush.
This book is for you if:
- You like your demons terrifying and your heroes foul-mouthed
- You think heartfelt brotherly moment and Impalement Center can coexist in the same book
- You've ever teared up during Supernatural and immediately pretended you didn't
- You want action, horror, humor, AND characters you actually give a damn about
Imagine the quick-wit chaos of Good Omens, the back-alley magic of Constantine, the brotherhood-in-leather vibe of Sons of Anarchy, and the monster-of-the-week momentum of Supernatural, all filtered through the hardboiled snark of The Dresden Files.
Over 500 pages of full-throttle demon-hunting mayhem. Graphic violence, adult language, and one honest shot at hope.
Book One in the Darkest Roads series. Book Two-Hell Drift-coming in May.
