I just finished reading a wonderful western by Morgan J. Blake. Her Redemption is so good I did a review of it. I warn you now, this is a writer to watch out for, she's cutting a deep inroad into the genre and kicking up dust to boot! I can't wait for her next book now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wylie Kinson is a trained Army scout, good at what he does. But when his mother is killed and his sister, Cara, kidnaped in Arizona Territory, the signs and tracks appear to lie. On the surface everything points toward the Apaches being the culprits. It's what's beneath the obvious that confuses Wylie. Indians don't slit a dead woman's throat, they don't wear boots and their horses aren't shod.
Cara Kinson grew up dogging her older brother's footsteps. She learned what he learned, or at least imitated his efforts. She rode a horse and shot a gun as well as most men and better than some, she fights like a cornered bobcat when the situation calls for it. As a result, she deals her captors misery and if not for the other female captives she probably could escape and made it back on her own. But the others need her. The question is, can they hold out until her brother gets there? Because Cara never doubts Wylie is coming for her.
Wylie and Cara Kinson learn that friendships and trust often crisscross a dusty path until they blurr the truth, exposing ragged edges of disguised treachery and evil.
Tighten your cinch partner, Morgan J. Blake's debut novel, REDEMPTION, is a wild ride.
