Week 31 Reviews: Kate and Jesse, Retribution Rails


WHAT HAPPENS AFTER REVENGE?

Kate Thompson thought avenging her father's death would help her sleep easier, but nothing has been easy since she killed the notorious outlaw Waylan Rose. Then Jesse Colton rides back into her life and the nightmares that used to visit her each evening begin to fade. At least until the papers bring word of train robberies in the south—heists staged by a man claiming to be Waylan Rose's half brother.

Knowing that the ghosts of her past may come to claim her, Kate will have to choose: cut Jesse loose and face the Rose Riders alone, or follow her heart—even if it means risking everything she holds dear.

Previously available only to readers who preordered Retribution Rails, don't miss this thrilling novella that bridges the gap between Vengeance Road and Retribution Rails.

From Goodreads:
REDEMPTION IS NEVER FREE
When Reece Murphy is forcibly dragged into the Rose Riders gang because of a mysterious gold coin in his possession, he vows to find the man who gave him the piece and turn him over to the gang in exchange for freedom. Never does he expect a lead to come from an aspiring female journalist. But when Reece's path crosses with Charlotte Vaughn after a botched train robbery and she mentions a promising rumor about a gunslinger from Prescott, it becomes apparent that she will be his ticket to freedom—or a noose. As the two manipulate each other for their own ends, past secrets are unearthed, reviving a decade-old quest for revenge that may be impossible to settle.

In this thrilling companion to Vengeance Road, dangerous alliances are formed, old friends meet new enemies, and the West is wilder than ever.

My Review:
Oh, I really enjoyed reading these books! I loved Vengeance Road, and I had to finish off this duology! And these were both great reads, I loved seeing this period of time in Kate and Jesse's lives, and how they got to the point that they were in Retribution Rails! 

I really enjoyed seeing Kate and Jesse's lives as they settled into normalcy. Of course, things aren't simple, that there was a brother in the Rose Riders who has taken up the mantle, which is a threat to the life that they built. 

And of course, he's still a threat in Retribution Rails-having taken hostage a boy who got a coin from Jesse-a coin linked to everything that went down in Vengeance Road-and he's meant to identify Jesse. So yeah Reece is not in a good position.

Neither is Charlotte. We briefly met the Vaughn family-at least, the one that was running the mine, on behalf of Charlotte's dad, and the wife was a piece of work. But now that her dad is dead, well, there's some awful shenanigans going on there. So there was a lot going on in this book! I loved watching it all resolve itself! 

These were such great reads, and I can't wait to read more by Erin Bowman!

OK, so I got 48 posts in 7 days, and it was a pretty fantastic week, I read a lot, and we had Friday off as a holiday-which is great because I had a migraine that day and was only awake for around 7 hours that day. And then I had the weekend, so that was great! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read The Hob's Bargain!

Beauty and The Beast

Hated and feared, magic was banished from the land. But now, freed from the spells of the wicked bloodmages, magic—both good and evil—returns. And Aren of Fallbrook feels her own power of sight strengthen and grow…

Overcome by visions of mayhem and murder, Aren vows to save her village from the ruthless raiders who have descended upon it—and killed her family. With the return of wildlings to the hills and forests, she strikes a bargain with the Hob, a magical, human-like creature imbued with the power of the mountains. But the Hob is the last of his kind. And he will exact a heavy price to defend the village—a price Aren herself must pay…

Week 26 Review: Vengeance Road

From Goodreads:
When Kate Thompson's father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there's room for love in a heart so full of hate. In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.

My Review:
Man, this was a fantastic book to read! I've really enjoyed Erin Bowman's sci fi series, and her first book, but it was really great to read her first western! I had a really great time with these characters and the adventure that they go on! 

This is a story about revenge, and the lengths one will go for it. It's also about family, and the relationships that you have with the various members, and how complicated that can be. Kate is a strong woman, and she's very determined to get her revenge on the Rose Riders. 

One thing that's a bit wild to me is that Kate really enjoyed Little Women. I've read it, but it's been so long since I did. And I didn't realize that it was published that far back. So that was just a little bit mind blowing to me! 

This book is pretty brutal, there's a lot of death, and a lot of men driven crazy at the thought of gold. There's also a little bit of love, and oh, is there a few awful twists. Those at the end, man, they were pretty big gut punches. But I loved watching them play out! It was so entertaining to read! Loved how everything worked out! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to move onto the sequel!

So this week I want to read The Crown of Gilded Bones.


She's been the victim and the survivor…

Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she's found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It's a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

The enemy and the warrior…

Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms' dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy's head.

A lover and heartmate…

But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.

And now she will become Queen…

Week 15 Review: Dustborn

From Goodreads:
Delta of Dead River sets out to rescue her family from a ruthless dictator rising to power in the Wastes and discovers a secret that will reshape her world in this postapocalyptic Western mashup for fans of Mad Max and Gunslinger Girl.

Delta of Dead River has always been told to hide her back, where a map is branded on her skin to a rumored paradise called the Verdant. In a wasteland plagued by dust squalls, geomagnetic storms, and solar flares, many would kill for it—even if no one can read it. So when raiders sent by a man known as the General attack her village, Delta suspects he is searching for her. 

Delta sets out to rescue her family but quickly learns that in the Wastes no one can be trusted—perhaps not even her childhood friend, Asher, who has been missing for nearly a decade. If Delta can trust Asher, she just might decode the map and trade evidence of the Verdant to the General for her family. What Delta doesn't count on is what waits at the Verdant: a long-forgotten secret that will shake the foundation of her entire world.

My Review:
Wow, I had such a great time reading this book! The world was absolutely desolate, and I loved watching these characters try and find a place that's more hospitable to live in! Delta was such a great character, who didn't want to deal with her niece, who is just really overall mad at the world. And I don't blame her! 

And then there's Asher. I felt really badly for Delta, because she thought he was dead. But nope, and just as she finds out that he's alive, well, the synopsis does say that she can't trust him. And I really enjoyed their relationship, they've grown a lot since they were kids, and he was such a rule-flaunter! 

I was really intrigued by the map that she and Asher have on their backs. Of where it goes, and what secrets there. I just wanted to know what was going on! And yeah, that was a really interesting secrets, and I really enjoyed how it played out! 

That ending was really amazing, I really enjoyed how it worked out! And sure, not everything is perfect, the world didn't change except this core area and people, but it'll work it's way further, and I love that! 

This was a really great read, and I had a great time reading it!

Waiting on Wednesday #516, March 31st

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating!

The Warlord by Gena Showalter
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter begins a dark, sexy new series - Rise of the Warlords - with a fan-favourite character from her beloved Lords of the Underworld series, Taliyah Skyhawk. The ice maiden faces off with her greatest enemy, a villain brutal beyond imagining.

For centuries, Taliyah Skyhawk has prepared to become Harpy General, leader of the deadliest female army in existence. One of the requirements? Remain a virgin. But, for a chance to save her people, she must wed the fearless leader of the Astra Planeta, Alaroc Phaethon.

The time has come for Roc to sacrifice another virgin bride to his god. There has never been a woman alluring enough to tempt him from his path. No warrioress powerful enough to overcome his incredible strength. No enchantress desirable enough to make him burn beyond reason. Until now.

With the clock ticking, war between husband and wife ignites. Except Taliyah never expected the merciless king to challenge the future she once envisioned. She certainly never anticipated the thrill of their battles turning into games... The problem is, only one spouse can survive.

Love is a battlefield in Showalter's The Warlord.

The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021

Witches Steeped in Gold by Ciannon Smsart
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
This Jamaican-inspired fantasy debut about two enemy witches who must enter into a deadly alliance to take down a common enemy has the twisted cat-and-mouse of Killing Eve with the richly imagined fantasy world of Furyborn and Ember in the Ashes.

Divided by their order. United by their vengeance.

Iraya has spent her life in a cell, but every day brings her closer to freedom—and vengeance.

Jazmyne is the Queen’s daughter, but unlike her sister before her, she has no intention of dying to strengthen her mother’s power.

Sworn enemies, these two witches enter a precarious alliance to take down a mutual threat. But power is intoxicating, revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is certain—except the lengths they will go to win this game.

Loved Unveiled by J.R. Ward
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
The #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series returns with Sahvage, a powerful MMA fighter with a buried secret that can change the world of Caldwell forever.

 
Kate in Waiting by Becky Albertalli
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway.

But when Kate and Andy’s latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.

Turns out, communal crushes aren’t so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson’s friendship.

 
Where Secrets Lie by Eva V. Gibson
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
Told in two interwoven timelines—the summer when everything changed, and the summer that changes everything—Where Secrets Lie is a seductive thriller as dark as it is enthralling.

Amy Larsen has spent every summer with her cousin Ben and their best friend Teddy in River Run, Kentucky, loving country life and welcoming the break from her intensive ambitions and overbearing mother—until the summer she and Teddy confront the changing feelings and simmering sexual tension growing between them, destroying the threesome's friendship in a dramatic face-off.

One year later, Amy returns to River Run dreading what she might find. But when Teddy's sister disappears, Amy, Ben and Teddy agree to put aside their differences to search for her. As they dig deeper into the dark history of their small town, all three friends must unearth the truths that tie their families to tragedy, cope with their own toxic upbringings and beliefs, and atone for the damage done to each other and themselves. 

These Feathered Flames by Alexandra Overy
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
A queer retelling of “The Firebird,” a Russian folktale

When twin heirs are born in Tourin, their fates are decided at a young age. While Izaveta remained at court to learn the skills she’d need as the future queen, Asya was taken away to train with her aunt, the mysterious Firebird, who ensured magic remained balanced in the realm.

But before Asya’s training is completed, the ancient power blooms inside her, which can mean only one thing: the queen is dead, and a new ruler must be crowned.

As the princesses come to understand everything their roles entail, they’ll discover who they can trust, who they can love—and who killed their mother. 
 
In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
A young prince must rely on a mysterious stranger to save him when he is kidnapped during his coming-of-age tour in this swoony adventure that is The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue meets Pirates of the Caribbean.

Prince Tal has long awaited his coming-of-age tour. After spending most of his life cloistered behind palace walls as he learns to keep his forbidden magic secret, he can finally see his family’s kingdom for the first time. His first taste of adventure comes just two days into the journey, when their crew discovers a mysterious prisoner on a burning derelict vessel.

Tasked with watching over the prisoner, Tal is surprised to feel an intense connection with the roguish Athlen. So when Athlen leaps overboard and disappears, Tal feels responsible and heartbroken, knowing Athlen could not have survived in the open ocean.

That is, until Tal runs into Athlen days later on dry land, very much alive, and as charming—and secretive—as ever. But before they can pursue anything further, Tal is kidnapped by pirates and held ransom in a plot to reveal his rumored powers and instigate a war. Tal must escape if he hopes to save his family and the kingdom. And Athlen might just be his only hope…

The Key to You and Me by Jaye Robin Brown
Expected Publication: April 20th, 2021
From Goodreads:
A sweet and funny #ownvoices LGBTQ+ romance perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Julie Murphy, from the critically acclaimed author of Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit!

Piper Kitts is spending the summer living with her grandmother, training at the barn of a former Olympic horseback rider, and trying to get over her ex-girlfriend. Much to Piper’s dismay, her grandmother is making her face her fear of driving head-on by taking lessons from a girl in town.

Kat Pearson has always suspected that she likes girls but fears her North Carolina town is too small to color outside the lines. But when Piper’s grandmother hires Kat to give her driving lessons, everything changes.

Piper’s not sure if she’s ready to let go of her ex. Kat’s navigating uncharted territory with her new crush. With the summer running out, will they be able to unlock a future together?
