Finished the as of now last book in Morgan Brice's BadLands series The Rising while waiting to clock in this morning.
Again, we're dealing with Vic and Simon and various hangers on as a bad winder squall is making its way inland towards Myrtle Beach. Which is kind of a looming threat over the narrative as we deal with the real plot, which concerns an unearthed pirate ship washed into shallower water by a hurricane and some stolen knives. All of which centers on a Plantation house being haunted by the original owner.
Oh yes, and the Gallows Nine, the pirates hanged from the recently discovered ship who trafficked in cursed Caribbean artifacts.
Anyway, descendants of the people who convicted the Gallows Nine end up hanging themselves with brine soaked hemp rope, and the stolen knives keep winding up in the backs of people getting to close to the Plantation Owner's fetter.
As one might guess, Vic and Simon get dragged into this, with a showdown between possessed people with antagonistic ghosts riding them while the storm cuts the plantation house off from the road.
Again, these are fun reading, with the M/M romance adding a bit of naughtiness to the proceedings.
