- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my favorite series in a long time romance action and tough chick who kicks butt and takes names but feels deeply love it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Clever fun in a world I could envision very easily.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This second book in the Gunnie Rose series finds Lizbeth working with a new crew and bringing a crate into Dixie. When their train car is bombed and attacked by people who want the case, Lizbeth manages to save it. However, one of the crew is dead and the rest including Lizbeth are injured. The case is stolen and the crew member guarding it has his throat cut. Lizbeth doesn't know what to do since only the leader knew who their client was but the reappearance of Eli Savarov gives her a direction to follow.Eli was sent on this mission because he is under suspicion in the NRE. The fact that his father was a traitor to the tsar makes all of the rest of the family look suspicious. Eli is also searching for the missing crate since the HRE had sent it to support the efforts of Negroes to get more independence.Dixie has regressed since the United States broke up. Segregation is back in full force and the lot of Negroes is not good. Lizbeth knew this because her best friend Galillee had fled Dixie to Texoma after being raped by the white man who employed her family. Lizbeth wants to see Galilee's parents to let them know how she died and to show them a picture of Galillee's new grandchild.Lizbeth also finds that the mores of Dixie don't approve of a single, independent woman dressed in denim trousers and carrying guns. She and Eli pose as husband and wife to try to get around this, but the grigori are not very popular in Dixie either. This story is filled with action and intrigue. There are lots of plot twists and many characters of undetermined loyalties. All Lizbeth and Eli can do is trust in each other even though Lizbeth knows Eli isn't telling her everything. I liked the way the relationship grew between Eli and Lizbeth. I also liked the realistic way Lizbeth looked at the relationship. She knew it couldn't last since their lives were in two very different places. This is the second book in a four-book series. I'm eager to read the next for Lizbeth's further adventures.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I buy the underlying plot points when they are finally revealed; however, who cares? Not me! This book is great -- just as fast paced, world-full, character driven as the other, and I loved it. So glad to see Gunnie Rose again, and wondering how she will continue in the future. This episode takes place in Dixie, and I like seeing the world fleshed out, even as I despise Dixie as pictured.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book, just not as much as the one before and the one after in the trilogy. Some things were very predictable, such as the stealing of the box and the treachery of some of the folks. Nevertheless, seeing California as a Russian state was amusing and interesting. The characters were great and the plot worked well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Charmingly dark characters maintain an increasing body count of associates and enemies as Gunny Rose works with a team to get a crate trough Texoma to it's proper recipient in town in Dixie.Gunny meets Eli again after the train crashes, leaving her team dead or disabled, just outside the destination Sally, and trust, sex and the Holy Russian Empire are all involved. Fun and fast moving, with the delight of Gunny's distinct voice.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Strong second entry. Lizbeth does not want to go to Dixie, but that is where the job takes her on her new crew. Dixie has reverted to slavery. The crew was paid to deliver a crate by the HRE and the contents will change Dixie, slowly but surely.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I had a great time with this book! After enjoying the first book in the Gunnie Rose series, An Easy Death, I was pretty eager to jump back into this alternate world and go on another adventure with Lizbeth. The action in this book started right away and I found it to be a rather fast-paced novel. I found it impossible to put this book down and ended up reading it in a single day. Lizbeth is working with another crew at the start of this book. Her crew has been tasked with delivering a crate to Dixie. It should be an easy job. But of course, things go wrong. Lizbeth is trying to hold things together when a familiar face shows up to help. She must work to find the crate and complete the crew's mission.I liked this book just as much as the first one. Gunnie Rose doesn't give up on any mission and she seems to be able to instinctively know who should be trusted. The town she finds herself in has a lot of problems and tensions are high. She must work with her ally to find the crate and deliver it appropriately but she seems to find difficulties at every turn. There were a few surprises in this book. The book takes place almost entirely in Dixie which is a different environment than what we saw in the first book. I had a great time trying to figure out exactly what was going on and how Lizbeth would complete her mission. I love the growth that we have seen in her character throughout the series.I would highly recommend this book to others. This is an original and exciting story with wonderful characters and a bit of magic. I cannot wait to read more of Gunnie Rose's adventures in the future.I received a digital review copy of this book from Gallery / Saga Press via NetGalley.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Western gunslinger woman, Russian Mob type wizard, dead bones, train robberies, slavery, bloodhounds, backstabbing, dead bodies and alligators. The West is indeed a wild place in this series. A good continuation of the series with many open ends when it’s done.Liz is back and she’s working to guard a box traveling on a train with a new crew. Things happen as they do often on trains in the Westerns, bullets fly, people die and Liz is left bewildered. Till Eli shows up out of the blue looking worse than the last time she saw him in Mexico. There are questions, but they’ll have to wait because somebody just got murdered and Liz wants to stay alive. This town they are stuck in is not welcoming. Together again, the pieces slowly come together in many ways.I like Liz and Eli. I like them working together, each of them is different enough to make the usual unusual. The sex scenes are not up to Ms Harris’s ability, she choose to make them there but not interesting. I would have liked to see a little R rated sex, it was so PG. I will read the next book because of them.It’s hard to place this in a time. My brain needs to nail it down, old west/modern/future. the mix of old West and modern throws me off sometimes. It felt forced in bits, trying too hard to be a Western and yet not. I’m not loving the world, but I love the characters.
