"Blood Trail" is a well-written historical novel that manages to suck the reader in and take them on a journey of love, danger, intrigue, emotion and a bit of coming-of-age tale as Dylan Ryan seeks out his destiny in the West in 1836. G. H. Lambert does a wonderful job of creating an compelling story with authentic language and locations, interesting characters and a fast-paced plot that feels like a classic in the making. The novel has a smooth writing style with vivid imagery, engaging characters, a sharp tone, strong dialogue and a historically accurate frame of reference.What I liked about this novel is that it has an emotionally charged foundation, a human element, that feels real and relatable as Dylan finds himself caught up in the promise of love and the promise of more along the Blood Trail... but he is faced with making a choice that could change everything. For a new author this is an impressive debut book and it left me eager to read the next book in the series, and see where Dylan's choices take him as he ventures farther in Texas and the promises it holds.
