Reviews

[Dennis R Thummel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good read, but too abrupt of a climax.

I read for pleasure and relaxation, not to write reviews. I feel reviews should be left to recognized critics and that the star rating system should be sufficient for most readers.

Quick read

Solidly written. Ellis brings Wyoming and it's characters alive with a familiar yet not entirely predictable storyline. The west is wild and the author makes no exception here.
