Carson's Point, currently home to a skinwalker, reanimated dead folk, a spectre, and other assorted oddities. Oh, and let's not forget Jonathan Crowley. Get ready for one of the wildest rides of the year.
What's a Jonathan Crowley novel without its fair share violence...
"Crowley grabbed the Peacemaker from his enemy’s hand, breaking the trigger finger in the process. His target yelped a second time and he flipped the weapon over until he was holding the barrel in his grip. He was too close in to fire the weapon, but it made a damned fine hammer for caving in his enemy’s forehead."
Violence is OK, but it's not all blood and guts...
"She looked pristine, innocent, nearly perfect. Beautiful, really, for a ghost."
I usually enjoy a good Jonathan Crowley novel, but Boomtown felt a bit disconnected and was at times confusing. Despite this, the story was still a fun throwback to the weird, weird west.
Somewhat recommended.
Published by Twisted Press, a division of Haverhill House Publishing, Boomtown is available as a limited edition hardcover, trade paperback, and for the Kindle. BTW, if you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited you can read it at no additional charge. Also, if you are an Amazon Prime member you can read it for FREE using the Kindle Owners Lending Library.
