My Thoughts:
This was an easy, enjoyable, quick read. Although it's the second in a series and I haven't read the first one, it seems to be more of a companion novel so it's not necessary to read the first to understand what's going on, although I'm sure it makes it more enjoyable.
The characters were interesting. Not my favorite by any means but they weren't annoying characters to read about. The main character, Storm, is just too hardheaded for me to like and Dak's way of jumping to conclusions and running with them put me off of him from the beginning. They got better as the story ran its course but I wouldn't want to read any more about them.
The plot ran okay. The beginning was slow and a bit awkward with what Storm goes through and Dak's aforementioned jumping to conclusions. I wasn't sure what the main conflict in the story was going to be since it jumped around a bit. The action at the end was pretty interesting; however I feel that the more sinister elements in the book were very obvious and not difficult to figure out at all. I liked the ending, especially because of the way the characters grow.
Likes: Easy, quick read. Perfect for people who like a contemporary western.
Dislikes: Some grammar and spelling errors. The sinister elements were easy to figure out. I didn't like the characters much personally.
Overall:
Recommend? Yes if you're looking for a contemporary western. Otherwise you could skip this.
