JOSHUA

by Raymond Hunter Pyle

Book two, Boone’s Branch Landing Series. Smoky Draw Ranch near Zapata, Texas had always been a peaceful place for Joshua Hanson, a place to return to after doing a little business in Zapata or Laredo, a place where no one came looking for him if he got a little too enthusiastic about his business. Smoky Draw wasn’t much of a ranch, and Josh wasn’t much of a rancher, but he liked it there. Now he had to move on. He was being hunted by people from across the border who wouldn’t give up until they got him if he hung around Zapata. Well, he was single and could go about anywhere he wanted, and Tennessee was on his mind. His mom was from Tennessee, and Josh wanted to see mountains covered with green trees instead of dry hills covered with scrub mesquite. Josh figured life would be peaceful and normal in the mountains without the haunting feeling of someone hunting him. He’d be hard to find in the mountains so far away from Texas. Josh figured wrong on two counts. Haunting feelings can come from more than being hunted, and you can be hunted by more than just men.

I’m really not trying to be offensive in anyway. I’m really not…. BUT HOLY CRAP!! This book has it all! Cops, Robbers, Pimps, Hookers, Soldato’s(Cartel hit men), Possible Mafia Enforcers, a Indian Medicine Man, Truck Drivers, Runaway Teenagers, Ghosts, Pickup Trucks, Country Music, The Grand Old Opera,a Blizzard, AND A DOG!!!!
I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this book. The first book was excellent. I’ve already got the next book in the series ready to go. I can only hope it half as good as they were. Mr. Pyle(the Author)has hit this one out of the park.
I would highly recommend these books to anyone. I would advise you to start at the first book to help you get started as it will ease you into the next one. I finished it in one day. I just couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

another good read…

I’m liking his books more and more. Fast paced with a good(but weird) plot. Very likable characters. I can wait to get into another one!

Another great book!!

This book is as good,if not better than the first. Raymond Pyle has an awesome series going here and I can't wait for the next one.Mr Pyle has become one of my favourite authors.I recommend this series to anyone who likes a good story line with strong characters, that doesn't rely on sex scenes and curses to fill in.What you get is a great book that keeps you reading because it's just plain good!!!.

Joshua

Fascinating story with a lot of things from the previous book repeatedly being brought back to your mind while a puzzling new side set of events carried the line. I could see the area from before and found it hard to put down.

Follow on

Another good read by Mr. Pyle. Just good as Boone's Branch Landing keeping you in suspense. An easy read without getting to deep into superstition.

Interesting

A lot of action and suspense involving drug cartel, mobsters, and spirits. The story was constantly evolving and you were always wondering what else could happen.
