About the Book: When her father is murdered for a journal revealing the location of a hidden gold mine, eighteen-year-old Kate Thompson disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers—and justice. What she finds are untrustworthy strangers, endless dust and heat, and a surprising band of allies, among them a young Apache girl and a pair of stubborn brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, a startling truth becomes clear: some men will stop at nothing to get their hands on gold, and Kate’s quest for revenge may prove fatal.
About the Author: Erin Bowman used to tell stories visually as a web designer. Now a full-time writer, she relies solely on words. She lives in New Hampshire with her family and when not writing she can often be found hiking, commenting on good typography, and obsessing over all things Harry Potter.
Noteworthy experiences while reading this book: It'll make want to read more Western books!
Do I Recommend this book? Yes yes yes!!
Notes and Opinions: Why did I wait so long to read this??? I have to say this is my favorite book of June! You can really tell she did her research. And you get two bad-ass women. Yes please!! This book is action packed and go go go from start to finish. I mean, you have a headstrong, spirited girl who's father was killed, what else do you expect? You'll be cheering her on the whole time, possibly out loud. I took this book everywhere with me (even to work, I might have told a couple of customers to not bother me oops) just so I could read it. I'm putting the next book on the top of my TBR pile. I need to read more!
