When I saw this book was an Amazon Western, I wondered what that meant. I'm not a big Western fan, BUT I LOVE Marie Harte's Cougar Falls series, so I thought I'd give it a try. I would call this a new age western with honest to goodness Amazon mixed in.  Thais is an Amazon guardian warrior, who is on a quest to find a crown stolen from the Amazon queen. She's also looking to avenge her mother's death as well as several of the Amazon community, searching for the man who killed and raped most of the village and a traitor Amazon. During her travels she meets Hinto, a bounty hunter that has his own "special abilities" to find people. Together they begin a quest to begins with a quest of revenge and ends with love. What happens in between, I'll leave for you to discover, but I will tell you this: Start this book when you have time, because once you start reading you won't be able to put it down. I was up until 1am reading and only stopped then because my eyes were going blurry. What I loved about this book was that it was like taking a trip forward in time to a new era, there were trees that drank blood and horses that were carnivores, but also the towns were like the wild west.  This book just got better and better (and hotter and hotter) and I was sorry to see it end. I can't wait to see what happens with her Amazon sisters in the upcoming books and get to spend more time with Hinto and Thais.
