Going through old paperbacks I've got in the shelves, what to keep and what to change out. I've had this Lone Star book for awhile now and decided it was about time to read it. I've read a few Lone Star adventures before and they're okay. Jessie Starbuck and her partner, martial arts master Ki, are a capable team when it comes to shooting their way through various adventures in the old west. And both find plenty of time for hot sex (not with each other, of course!) between all the gunplay and such. This one has them confronting a coven of witches and their Satan-worshipping leader in the mountains of Colorado. Jessica and Ki each get a turn at being kidnapped. Lots of witches get gunned down. Some bad guys get hi-karate'd by Ki. Jessica has some hot action with an Army officer. You'll want to read the 95 Lone Star novels that precede this one, just so you get an understanding of the characters.

This was one of my least favorites of the series. It is bad enough that the series was written by ghost writers, but it always seemed that they never followed a pattern. In some books, Jessica talks about her father by falling 'father' (or such) and others she called him by his first name as if there was no blood relation. In this book, the worst part of the ghost writers' lack of communication among each other is that Ki's name was suddenly changed to Kiai. That irritated me and I was scratching out the "ai" in my copy. If they ever reprint this one, I hope they correct that.
