Author Jesse VanDeWalker did a great job of bringing the American West to life with this book filled with characters that are true to the old-west style. The story feels like it has been passed down from generation to generation. Full of wild adventures and true old-Western character - the reader feels like they are sitting around a campfire being told a story. I sat near my screen with big doe eyes trying to guess what was going to happen.


I'm giving this book 4 stars because even though it was an well written book, I found it a little flat at times. I wanted to know a little bit more about each character, wanted a little bit more from the story. However, this is exactly how a true American Western book should be written. Jesse did a remarkable job at making the reader feel like they were part of the story and I could picture each scene. I laughed out loud more than once and I felt nervous for the characters during sticky situations. Overall, a great read. Perfect for ages 14+ (some sexual tension and activity in a whorehouse).
