Synopsis

"If these two boys are God’s chosen warriors, then it might just be time for humanity to bow out of the fight."
—James Hunter, author of Strange Magic
The holy champion chosen to save the world is enslaved to a sadistic fallen angel and losing the battle for his sanity.
The guy chosen to save the holy champion is his binge-drinking redneck brother.
So, basically, the world is screwed.
Meet the Whitney boys:
Colt—a mentally unstable holy soldier with a rapidly deteriorating hold on reality. His last plan to rid the world of evil either failed horribly or went off without a hitch. With the constant torture and brainwashing, it's getting hard to be sure of anything but the sick attachment he's developing to his beautiful tormentor.
Tough—a smart-mouthed honky-tonk hero trying to drown his problems in music, women, and good times. He hasn't spoken to Colt in five years—not since their disagreement over a nymphomaniac vampire turned into a drunken slugfest—but they're still brothers. Tough knows he can't leave Colt fighting for his life and his sanity alone. The question is whether Tough can fight off his personal demons long enough to save Colt from the literal ones.
Halo Bound is the first book in the Redneck Apocalypse series.
What readers are saying about Halo Bound:
"I have rarely had the pleasure of reading anything this weird and wonderful. If Douglas Adams were to write horror I think this is close to what would happen." ~Nancy Parker
"I love Tough. He is this incredibly flawed anti-hero who is constantly struggling with... well, everything. His hometown of Halo has been his own personal Hell for years and it seems that he will never take a trick. But as flawed as he is, he is above all a fighter. He wants to survive, he doesn't want to give up (even when he thinks he does)." ~Mikhaeyla K, Booklikes
"This book was super hard to put down. I’m pretty sure my kids had to pry it from my hands in order for me to make dinner. [...] It's a crazy page turning thrill ride." ~The Reading Chameleon
"When I think back on the book, I think first of the vulnerability and grief of the main characters, each damaged in their own way, for their own reasons. I think of the violent desperation the whole thing reeks of, this balance of fragility and darkness that keeps bubbling up between the lines."
~Tim McBain, co-author of the Awake in the Dark series
"Tough might be my favorite character ever. I loved everything about him." ~Charlotte Cyprus, author of Kiss of the Fey
"Hudson nails down the frenetic 20-something vibe, and the setting is undeniably rural and southern [...] Pain, violence and anguish are as deftly delineated as new love, foolish hope and stupid stubbornness." ~Michael McClung, author of the Amra Thetys series
