"Wind River" by James Reasoner and L.J. Washburn

Wind River by L. J. Washburn and James Reasoner is western novel about a Wyoming town run by two rich men, Durand and Andrew McKay.  When Colt arrives on the first train to their town, his plans change when he accepts the position of Marshall.  There are gamblers, brawls, prostitutes, no school and no church.  Once Cole gets caught up in chasing down some outlaws with his first posse, he realizes when he returns that Wind River has become his home. 

This is a quick read that I enjoyed.  At first, it was a bit difficult keeping all the people straight because they were introduced very quickly at the beginning.  This book has lots of action in it and although I guessed who was behind the payroll robbery, it kept my interest.  The Marshall is a strong character, and I also liked the newspaper editor and his family, and Sawyer, the rancher.

"Lexicon" by Max Berry

Lexicon by Max Barry is about Will and Emily.  They both come to Broken Hill, Australia where there is a disaster in the making.  I liked how the story switched from Will to Emily and the action.  I really enjoyed the ending!

The Cold Nowhere by Brian Freeman

The Cold Nowhere by Brian Freeman is a real good book!  A young girl hides under the porch while her mom is stabbed to death because the detective who was supposed to watch over her was too late.  Years later, they met up again. Is the young girl out for the guy or is somebody after her this time?  This is a real page turner with lots of action!

Tuesday Teasers: 3 This Week

Gerard's:

The girl glanced at the dining room windows, as if she expected to see the face of her stalker framed behind the glass.  She was like a deer, alert and swift.  

From page 11 of The Cold Nowhere by Brian Freeman.  (My review will be up tomorrow.)

He was getting more of a cold, soulless kind of vibe.  Like those eyes could watch terrible things and not look away.

From page 7 of Lexicon by Max Berry.

Karen's:

 "History will be here soon enough, my friend.  And that's what this is, you know--history.  Yes, indeed, the first train to arrive in Wind River is quite a historic occasion."

From Location 70 on Kindle of Wind River by James Reasoner and L. J. Washburn.  (Just starting this one.)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should  Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just do the following

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on  that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away!   You don’t  want  to  ruin the  book for others!)
• Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can  add the book to their TBR  Lists  if they  like your teaser.   

Happy Reading!
