Crow Mountain
For fans of dark fantasy, western horror, and Red Dead Redemption!
Job Wilms, outlaw king, means to hold onto Crow Mountain and its mines at any cost. Problem is, papers and deeds don’t mean anything to the ancient race that dwells in the depths of the mountain. Might means right, so Job reaches out into the blackest shadows for reinforcements. And the red right hand of the Deadmen reaches back.
And so hands are shaken. A deal is made.
Is the deal of the goodly kind, or will it go so far south it rides into hell?
Only one thing is certain… beneath the shadow of Crow Mountain, there's gonna be a Red Harvest.

Crow Mountain
Oh I am at loss for words on this story.
There is a lot of killing, it sort of reminds me of the story of ghosts who ride in the sky on their horses flames from the noses of the beasts, and flames from the hoofs.
Personally didn’t care for the story.

I was in the mood for something a bit macabre and I thought this would fit the bill. Unfortunately I’m not sure if it was the writing style of just that I had no patience at all for Job Wilms but I could not fully get into this book.
For me Job Wilms acted like a temper tantrum throwing, self-serving, bigoted, whiny, selfish 4y/o. Some bad guys draw you in despite their not so stellar ways, I just couldn’t care about him and his sense of self importance to the exclusion of everyone and everything. Even when it seemed he was showing a kindness there was always a backdoor that lead back to him benefitting.
I had hoped he would be dropped from the window the first time one of the Deadmen grabbed him. My sympathies were with those he tried to kill for his own personal gain.
Bethany-Sue_Anne-Lorraine at time annoyed me with calling Job “Daddy”. She went full circle from dreamy airhead, to flighty, to a woman that will stand by her man.
Some of the prose did evoke a sticky darkness filled with evil. Job continually making the same mistake of having his greed overtake his common sense, which always landed him back on the wrong end of right, was in itself a lesson many of us still need to learn.
Maybe a different style of writing may have brought the book to life in a different way for me as it was the short sentences, the crazy tangents and at times the repetitive nature of some of the story just made it an ok read for me.

Weird, fantastical, fabulous. Job Wilms was a character I loved to hate and hated to love.
