Recenzii
"Rhett
is
one
of
Bowen's
(Dawson's)
best
characters
to
date,
and
the
world
built
in
this
series
is
rich
and
complex.
One
of
my
favorite
new
series,
to
be
sure.
If
you
haven't
picked
up
the
first
book,Wake
of
Vultures,
you
really
should.
Then
pick
this
one
up
too."—Pop

"Frankly, I need more Nettie Lonesome's on my shelf."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"Gritty and well-realized... The unforgiving western landscape is home to supernatural beasties as diverse as the human inhabitants, and no-nonsense Nettie is pragmatic and brave.
