Explanation During Books Wake of Vultures (The Shadow #1)

A rich, dark fantasy of destiny, death and the supernatural world hiding beneath the surface.

Nettie Lonesome lives in a land of hard people and hard ground dusted with sand. She's a half-breed who dresses like a boy, raised by folks who don't call her a slave but use her like one. She knows of nothing else. That is, until the day a stranger attacks her. When nothing, not even a sickle to the eye can stop him, Nettie stabs him through the heart with a chunk of wood and he turns to black sand.

And just like that, Nettie can see.

But her newfound sight is a blessing and a curse. Even if she doesn't understand what's under her own skin, she can sense what everyone else is hiding—at least physically. The world is full of evil, and now she knows the source of all the sand in the desert. Haunted by the spirits, Nettie has no choice but to set out on a quest that might lead her to find her true kin . . . if the monsters along the way don't kill her first.

BAM... great... weird... and different! I loved it. Full review to come.

This was both a joyful and inspiring read. With a fabulously frantic fast pace, the action-packed adventure to find and conquer the Cannibal Owl sucked me in and carried me along. The variety of monsters that are encountered all along the way totally tickled my adoration of fantasy, while the main character, Nettie Lonesome grounded me and filled me with hope and pride.Netties spunk, whole-hearted courage and unconditional admiration and adoration of all animals are delightfully demonstrated by

Lately I have found myself being drawn to YA Westerns and when I saw this book, I was intrigued. Western adventure, Native American/Black protagonist and magic, magic, magic! Dream come true. I had a lot of fun reading this, even though there is some darkness woven throughout the story. This is one of those books where the journey is the story more than the destination. As such at times the long road to the monster felt a tad tedious, and the ending was abrupt in comparison. However I did enjoy

DNF @22%I could not get into this. Westerns aren't my thing. Since this is also fantasy I was hoping the western stuff wouldn't be so prevalent, but it was. Training horses and ranching is boring to read about. A few vampires have been in the story so far but not enough to keep my interest. Everything about this bored the hell out of me. Finally the book was getting to the point where a plot was beginning to take shape, but I just don't care anymore.

I stinkin' loved this book. Clearly, as I gave it five stars, so that's obvious. And normally my reviews don't get all analytical or deep, but because this book tackles so much and does it really, really well, I feel like it deserves some praise and a little bit deeper of a review.This book is set in the past - the late 1800s Southwest, to be exact -- but its message includes some highly relevant subjects. Sure it's a fantasy take on the famous western "Cowboy and Indian" tales and games we used

DNF at 55%I don't DNF often and it isn't that this is a bad book. It isn't at all I'm just really struggling to stay interested in it. Lila hasn't been really likable for me so far and I'm not sure if it is just that this has a setting like a Western or that there was a lot of stuff with Horses that disinterested me. I did like it when the shapeshifting Coyote showed up though. I've tried to get back to it a few times and I'm just really more interested in a lot of other books right now and this

WELCOME TO THE WILD WEST! Get ready for a tale about the pull of destiny and the search of one's identity, carrying a distinctly feminist undertone (not that guys won't love it too ... it's a western, duh). Nettie Lonesome had two things in the world that were worth a sweet goddamn: her old boots and her one-eyed mule, Blue. Neither item actually belonged to her. But then again, nothing did. ...and just like that, after the first two lines, I knew I would love it.Set in an alternate version
