COAL – J. Jason Grant
Woah. I wasn’t prepared for this. ‘Coal’ is the only name he’s ever known – so named for the darkness of his skin. He’s been chained and beaten since the age of six, and he watched as his owner sold his mother and sister away. The only kindness he’s ever been shown was from a Continue reading

LADY OR THE TIGER – Heather M. Herrman
This is one of the most impressive books I’ve read in a long time. Part western, part mystery, with a hint of macabre, Lady or the Tiger ticks all the right boxes when making a checklist of what makes for an excellent read. Belle King was an infamous teenage serial killer and when she willingly walked into Continue reading

THE LAST WIZARD’S BALL – Charlaine Harris
I was a little late to the game in reading this Gunnie Rose series, just as I was very late in reading Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse books (ie True Blood) but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed both of these series. The Gunnie Rose series is a sci-fi, paranormal western where the Continue reading

BILLY THE KID: THE WAR FOR LINCOLN COUNTY – Ryan C. Coleman
I have to admit that I chose and started to read this book because I thought it was going to be a non-fiction book about Billy the Kid – an infamous outlaw about whom I know very little. I also know there’s been a trend of non-fiction books that push the boundaries of non-fiction, giving Continue reading

They come upon a monster of a polar bear who appears to be badly injured, likely making him even more of a threat than a Continue reading

AN EASY DEATH – Charlaine Harris
The world is different. Texoma is its own country and wizarding magic is a known ability (though not a very well trusted one). Lizbeth “Gunnie Rose is young but she’s already gotten herself quite a reputation for fierceness and fairness. When she commits to a job she’ll see it through no matter what the cost. Continue reading

FIRST FROST – Craig Johnson
It’s time for another Longmire book, but where do you go when Longmire has taken on (and taken down) every petty criminal, every crooked politician, and every drug lord in the state of Wyoming and even a few in Mexico? You look back at Walt’s early days – before he ever became a sheriff. Some Continue reading

From the creator of the hugely popular Sookie Stackhouse series (aka True Blood) is the Gunnie Rose series. All the Dead Shall Weep is the 5th book in this series, but author Charlaine Harris gives us everything we need to know about the characters within the pages of the book – reading this will only whet the appetite Continue reading

Jim Finch left his home, Featherville, over a year ago. He’s back now but he’s returned to a community that doesn’t really resemble what he left. Some squatters (or ‘nesters’) have moved into the valley. They are settling on ranch land and trying to claim it as their own. Sam Broadner might be one of Continue reading
