Preacher's Strike by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is another western with some european connections. This time it's not vikings but people Preacher's Strike by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is another western with some european connections. This time it's not vikings but people from a mde up duchy close to germany. It is a classic Preacher story starting in St. Louis with someone needing his help going out in the wilderness. It has what one expects in a western and it is entertaining as it usually is with Preacher, I would however read more about him in a later time. I must thank Netgalley and kensington Books for the advance copy....more

It is an ok western but I don't think I will follow it since I felt it wasn't all there. The concept is great with the main character and it can be a great series but how many times can he pick up a gun to save the day?

It almost felt like Smoke was back although without a memory who he is. It was an entertaining western and I do like westerns but still the authors doesn't reach all the way. Still I had fun for a few hours and that is the point. I must thank Netgalley and Kensington books along with Pinnacle for supplying me with this advance copy....more

Wortham would write a real western, he has been close but with The Journey South he takes the step all the way. It is agreat western with some wonderful characters. The story in itself is not very new but what happens on the way home for Cap Whitlatch is things I haven't read in a western before. I have been a big fan of Wortham since the first book in the Red River series and he never lets you down. He is one of the best authors from Texas nowadays. I'm already looking forward to the next story....more
The feud between The Maddox and Drew clans continue in Hard Winter, the second book in this new series from William W. johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. FThe feud between The Maddox and Drew clans continue in Hard Winter, the second book in this new series from William W. johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. Finally they have created a new series that is actually really good apart from the fact that the same kids is held hostage by the bad guys in both books. I like the fact that the books is set in three time periods to tell different stories and also the history of the two families and the ongoing dislike they have for each other. I haven't felt this positive in a long time with a book from this author and look forward to the next one. I must thank Pinnacle Books and Netgalley for letting me read this advance copy....more

Fort Buzzard is the nJamie MacAllister and Preacher are two of my favorite characters created and written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. Fort Buzzard is the newest adventure with these two. It is a rather entertaining western it has what it's suppose to have when it comes to good guys and bad guys, throw in some indians and some gunfighting and there you have it. I will always enjoy a good western, sadly some of the newer ones from these author varies too much in quality. I thank Pinnacle Books and Netgalley for supplying me with this advance copy....more

The Angry Land is all about cattle rustling and this time Smoke meets a couple of gents that has their own series, The Range Detectives. William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone keeps producing western series in a pace I no longer can keep up with so I wont even try to read them all. Some are good and some are great and some are just, why. This is one of the better and I thank Pinnacle Books Kensington and Netgalley for letting me read this advance copy....more

Beans, Bourbon, and Blood by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is a rather traditional western with a small comunity held in an iron grip by a powerful rancher and his corrupt judge and town marshall. This is supposed tpo be a new series and I think that it will be a good one, not that the Johnstone estate needs more series. Still I am a sucker for westerns and this is one and I will continue reading the work from Johnstone. I thank Pinnacle and Netgalley fro letting me read this advance copy....more

That is probably down toThe Bullet Swallower by Elizabeth Gonzales James is not really what I normally read and I had a hard time getting through it. That is probably down to what I like and not the quality of the book or the author. I just wasn't hooked by the double timeline and especially the story. The book is well written and I think many out there will find it great but I din't. I still thank Edelweiss and Simon & Schuster for letting me read this one....more

Nice GuNot everything is as it's supposed to be at the D&T cattle company. The owners have an alternative lifestyle, that of robbers Oscar and Elmer. Nice Guys Finish Dead by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is a great funfilled western and it's actually book two in this series. I had some fun reading this one, it is definitely not a standard western and the characters are really great. In this book the heat is on the ageing pair of cowboys and the US marshall hunting them is not as wet behind the ears as his elders think.

Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone doesn't really revolve much about running a stage coach and neither is it very accurate when it comes to weaponry of the era but it has some qualities and it is a western.

I thank Kensington Books and Netgalley for providing me with a few hours of entertainment....more
