Silver Bullet

Low Noon, Book 1

By: J. M. Thomas

Narrated by: C. J. McAllister

You know what the Wild West needs?

Vampires.

The night before the high noon showdown, Sheriff Pete had mortality on his mind. Then, the town’s fastest woman knocked on his door. He thought she was there to take his mind off things...

Until her fangs came out.

Now Pete’s gotta rectify his innate sense of justice with a growing desire to devour everyone in sight. A small cadre of vampire hunters would be just the place for him, but they have one condition...

...if he drinks blood, his partner will waste him on the spot.

To make matters worse, she’s the meanest, purdiest woman he’s ever laid eyes on.

The Wild West just got wilder.

Saddle up and grab your copy, let’s hit the trail before nightfall.

‘Cause night is when the real fun starts.

Not your typical wester or typical vampire and werewolf story

I didn’t think I was going to be a huge fan of this one. I was looking for something to pass the time. I like westerns and I like vampires and werewolf’s, so it peaked my interest. I assumed it was going to be the stereotypical wolves vs vamps story, which in a way it is. But it is unique it has it’s own little twists. I’m staying vague as I don’t want to spoil anything for the readers/listeners. I think this is worth your time if you like a little wild west and a decent vamp and werefolk story. It is a little narrow ok the characters but it’s enough to keep interest and develop a decent story. I do plan on reading the second book in the series.

I liked the narrator, he fit the part well but can seem a bit monotone at times, but not enough to turn me away. There is a lot of inner dialog in this book, and towards the beginning I thought that would throw me off, I still ended up listening to chapter after chapter in anticipation. I would recommend this book.

The Wild West Gets Wild

The old west meets vampires and one pretty one at that. All in all it is pretty good for fantasy. If you like westerns and fantasy than this should be right up your alley. C.J. McAllister does a good job of narrating.

Not Your Grandfather's Old West

Most vampire stories written these days fall under either the urban fantasy or horror genres and take place in either the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. Thomas puts a nice twist on the genre by placing his story in the Old West and postulating that a war is going on between vampires trying to expand their numbers and lycanthropes striving to destroying them.

Pete is a lawman who finds himself turned, but not yet lost to the pure evil and bloodlust of full-on vampirism. He gets captured by a tribe of were-coyotes who give him a chance to prove that despite his new condition, he remains on the side of the angels. It’s a great way to introduce a new series, because Pete doesn’t know anything about the supernatural world he now inhabits and his painful lessons educate the reader as well.

Vampires prey on each other as much as people, running fight clubs in which they square off against each other as gladiators. Pete has to find a way to survive the club without completing his turn, while simultaneously figuring out a way to destroy the vampires abusing him. It’s a great first book to a promising new series.

I received this book free from Audiobook Boom in exchange for an honest review.

Cowboys, werebeasts and vampires.

It's hard to underestimate how entertaining this story was. A rugged sheriff on a mission to avoid falling to his new instincts and a fun tale of action, and drama. A lot was packed into this story for it's length. The best part of the story was the narrator. they got the perfect guy to read it and it added a lot to the story.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Great blend of supernatural and western

Really enjoyed the way the author took vampires and were’s and spun them
Into a western. The Mc is a turned sheriff Of a small town that resents being turned, hasn’t tasted blood 🩸 and wishes to join the pack
Of were’s that hunt the vampires. What he finds is a plot far bigger than he can handle along with a spot of romance. Really enjoyable tale and look forward to the next installment. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
