Time to complain, the pacing was so SLOW and monotonous. So like I said earlier the best part of the entire book is that it’s a revenge tale, that’s ALL that kept me from DNF-ing this one. There’s also a couple of plot twists, you won’t even see the ending one coming I can guarantee it. Especially people who hate spelling and grammatical errors. I think that the slang talk really adds to the atmosphere of the book and I loved it, although it may get really annoying to some people. Whatever happened to yer pa, it ain’t yer fault, Nate, and you gotta let it go.” “Bad things happen, and you can’t let ’em harden you.

“Life don’t care ’bout sorry’s,” Will says. You also get all of that authentic Western slang! Yee-haw! (Just kidding nobody says that) With lots of descriptive action and shooting. Plus the book has quite a few action scenes that play out very well, they’re written how action scenes should be written.

Right after I shoot him through the skull. “Now for the love of God, lower that damn pistol.” Hunting down a gang of outlaws to avenge the death of your father? Doesn’t get much more badass than that. Kate (the MC) is badass plain and simple, she is what drove the story. It was gritty and more than a little bloody, which is probably the overall BEST part of the entire book. The (completely unnecessary) romance, good God did I HATE the romance.The ending was unsatisfying (for me anyways) and felt really rushed.I pretty much loathed EVERY character except Kate and Liluye.What I Didn’t Like About “Vengeance Road”: The big reveal at the end of the book, didn’t see it coming and it was really enjoyable.The authentic Western slang that gave you a good feel for the setting of the book, which is obviously in the Old West.The action scenes were what they should be, very full of action that keeps you on edge.Kate Thompson, our certifiably badass MC.This book was ultimately a little disappointing for me, I was expecting something very “Kill Bill” – esque and that is not what I got. 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. 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. 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.
