Author:
“DV Berkom is the USA Today bestselling author of action-packed,
riveting adventure and crime thrillers. Known for creating resilient, kick-ass
female characters and page-turning plots, her love of the genre stems from a
lifelong addiction to reading spy novels, action/adventure stories, and
thrillers.”
Appraisal:
In the first installment of this series the protagonist, Claire
Whitcomb, lost her family, saw that the culprits paid an appropriate price, and
as part of that process developed some new skills. The title of this second
installment of the series should be a good hint as to what those skills are. In
this book Claire meets and befriends a few well-known characters from the old
west, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holladay being the biggest names, puts her new skills
to use a time or two. I didn’t find the “what’s going to happen” aspect as
strong in this volume as the first installment, but enjoyed watching Claire grow
into someone to be reckoned with. If you’re a fan of the old west and westerns
in general, this is definitely for you.

FYI:
Book 2 of the series. While I think the book could be read as a
standalone, knowing all that led to this point would help get even more from
the book.

Issues:
My review is based on an advance copy and I’m unable to gauge the
final product in this area.
