Although I don't get around to doing much of either lately, I love watching old western movies and TV shows and reading some of the old western books. There is just something about the American Old West with its gritty outlaws & gunslingers, the frontier towns, saloons & quick draw duels that just s...
When I found out that young adult westerns were a thing, I knew I had to read this book. Immediately. Eighteen-year-old Kate comes home to find her father hanged and her house burned to the ground. She knows that this is the work of a gang called the Rose Riders, and she sets out to murder every o...
Since starting Vengeance Road, every piece of writing and conversation has taken on a Western vibe. It’s 100% the fault of this novel. The narrator’s voice is so strong that it actually affected my life. I only wish I could sound as authentic as Kate Thompson herself.Vengeance Road first caught my e...
There are very few Westerns I like. I blame my dad for that. He forced me to watch so many Westerns in my youth and never let me watch Batman like I wanted. Instead, it was always some Clint Eastwood or John Wayne movie or Lonesome Dove. Blah. However, there were certain things about the su...

One of my favorite (and most anticipated books of the year) was a YA Western and as soon as I heard thatVengeance Road was a YA Western (AND SAW THAT BEAUTIFUL COVER),...
It’s time to reveal a secret: I didn’t know what Vengeance Road was about or where it took place. I only knew that the very talented Erin Bowman wrote it, and it was gonna be an awesome western. I sometimes like westerns. It’s kinda hit-or-miss. I saw VR on NetGalley, and was all “mine!”Anyway, here...
I received a copy from Netgalley.As soon as I first heard about this book it immediately went on my Want it Now and Wishlist shelves. I've never really been a fan of westerns, but after watching the remake of 'True Grit' a few years ago and really liking it, I've had my eye out for YA themed western...
