White Squaw #1
Sioux Wildfire
With long, lustrous black hair, flashing blue eyes and high cheekbones, there was no mistaking that Rebecca Caldwell was a half-breed, hated and scorned by her kinfolk. So when the bloody Indian Wars started and the Sioux were about to storm the Caldwell ranch, it was no surprise that Rebecca's uncles offered her to the savages in return for their lives. And for five long, arduous years she lived in the Oglala camp learning their cunning, ruthless ways.
Now she is ready to escape and make her uncles pay. She has honed her skills as a fearless warrior and as an irresistible woman -- and will use every trick her body knows to get the revenge she wants! She's sexy, she's daring, she's dangerous, she's deadly. Nothing can stop the WHITE SQUAW.

Western grindhouse exploitation! Indsploitation? Westploitation!
I bought this after seeing the covers for this series and wondering, "Can this possibly be as trashy as it looks?" Absolutely.
Our heroine is a half-Amerind settler, whom the book constantly refers to as "half-breed." Seriously, an average sentence might be, "The half-breed checked her 1876 double-action Peacemaker to make sure it had at least five 128 grain bullets." Yes, it also describes the guns like an Executioner novel. After four years of captivity with the Ogala Sioux, our heroine has escaped to kill both of her uncles and their gang who sold her into slavery.
Dungeons & Dragons players should find this familiar; the White Squaw is written like someone's half-elf or half-orc in a fantasy novel. The Amerindians here sure could be orcs, for that matter. I wasn't able to find enough info to doublecheck their portrayal, but they might as well be Klingons in headdresses.
Using the skills she learned from her captors, our heroine will take on gunfight after gunfight, sex scene after sex scene, while us readers are constantly reminded of her "full breasts" and "shapely legs." One day, soon, I look forward to picking up a book where the protagonist's nipples are not described in detail.
That's the pacing of this novel down. Every chapter, you can generally expect either a gunfight or a sex scene, often with dubious if any consent involved. At the point in which our heroine encounters a penis whose "length reached nearly two handspans of a big man" with a base so wide she can't close her fingers around it, I'm pretty sure it's the audience being fucked with.
Also, most awkward vagina metaphors ever.
There's a terrible missed chance at good writing. The book has the outlaw gang all comment on the Irish's guys habit for using younger girls in terrible ways. This book wants you to understand that this bandit is a pedophile so really, Really, REALLY bad. It's more obvious than a billboard with his picture that says "I PUT MY PENIS IN UNDERAGED GIRLS.
It was legitimately creepy, and I thought it was a nice touch. Then, rather than leave it to our imagination, the book describes it in detail and has him do it just off-screen. Twice.
It's high up in the "Top Ten Least Pleasant Passages I've Ever Read." You know, E.J. Hunter, once you give us six pages of hinting about horrible things a psycho likes to do to people, you don't have to actually show it.
But as I said, this a grindhouse movie Western in book format. If this had been released as a film in the 70's, the recently-restored DVDs would be classics currently advertised in the pages of Rue Morgue Magazine.
In the end . . . it was okay. It moves along well enough for a men's adventure series, but the protagonist never becomes the central badass, sometimes being outdone by her burly white Indian captive comrade. In the end, she gets her revenge . . . on one of the dudes.
Hey, there's twenty-four books in the series. They have to pace themselves, y'know?

This review is of “Sioux Wildfire”, book #1 of 24 in the “White Squaw” series by E.J. Hunter.
First, the backstory: “White Squaw” is the story of Rebecca Caldwell, a 19 year-old half-white, half-Indian woman. Rebecca is the product of her late mother, Hannah’s, rape by an Sioux chief, Iron Calf. When Rebecca was 14, she and Hannah were traded by Hannah’s brothers, Ezekial and Virgil, who are members of the notorious Bitter Creek Jake Tulley gang, back to the Sioux in exchange for sparing the “men’s” lives. While in the Sioux camp, Rebecca married a Sioux brave, Four Horns, and has a son. Four Horns and her son are killed in inter-tribal warring. During one of these skirmishes, Rebecca meets a man named Lone Wolf, real name Brett Baylor, a white man, and they escape the Sioux camp. Both have a plan: to get revenge on those who have wronged them. For Rebecca, it’s her uncles and the Tulley Gang.
In the first chapter of the book, Rebecca kills her first Tulley gang member. As the book goes on, Rebecca:
Kills more of Tulley’s gang members, including her uncle Virgil;
Begins a sexual relationship with a former neighbor, Sam Wade, which ends when he is killed by Tulley’s men.
Gets raped and assaulted by Tulley’s men.
Gets captured, along with Lone Wolf, by Tulley’s men.
Rebecca and Lone Wolf manage to escape, but so does Tulley, and Rebecca realizes her desire for revenge will have to wait.
Upside: Rebecca is one of my all-time favorite book heroines. She is definitely not a Simpering Sara. Rebecca is a cross between Linda Lovelace and Paul Kersey, the character Charles Bronson played in the “Death Wish” movie franchise, with a little bit of “Batman”, the live-action series, and “The A-Team” mixed in for good measure.
Downside: Not much from my perspective. The only downside is the number of good people who get injured, raped and killed.
Sex: There are a lot of sex scenes in this book, and they are graphic. Rebecca is a nymphomaniac, to put it mildly. She loves sex, and loves to have it.
Violence: The violence is also extremely graphic. There are scenes of assault, battery, rape, shooting, stabbing and killing. If you’ve ever wondered what a bullet or arrow can do to a human being when it makes contact with them, E.J. Hunter is more than happy to tell you.
Bottom Line: The “White Squaw” series will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like strong heroines who deliver swift, bloody, brutal justice, “White Squaw” will be a series worth reading.

The first book in this gory, wild, western. Half white half Native American, a drop-dead gorgeous, strong, powerful girl is seeking revenge, death by her hands to the vile, evil gang members that sold her into slavery at a native American camp. During her enslavement she learnt manly hunting and killing skills. Now free, she adroitly pumps rounds into a man's gut, a beautiful red river flows into the dusty road. She will take out another slamming bullets into a throat, gunk exploding omnidirectionally, and another with his temple shattered. Revenge is tiring work.
