(The Devil’s Revolver #2)
Publication date: April 2nd 2018
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

Welcome to the birthplace of the Devil’s Revolver, where untold danger lurks for Hettie Alabama and her companions…

The second book in the epic, magic-clad Devil’s Revolver series follows Hettie and her sister south of the Wall into Mexico, where they must unmake Hettie’s infernal mage gun while confronting a magic- and land-hungry army and a monster from hell drawn to the powers of the weapon. Hettie wants nothing more than to break her bond to the cursed Devil’s Revolver and find a way to keep her sister safe — but Abby’s indigo powers are growing stronger, and in the gated, walled village where they take refuge, nothing is exactly as it seems. Pursued by the Pinkertons, left without allies or guardians, Hettie has to rely on her own grit and determination to do the right thing, no matter the cost.

This second installment of V. S. McGrath’s sweeping and high-stakes saga draws its truly unforgettable gunslinger heroine to her limits and ends with a satisfying bang.

My Review:

I haven’t read many westerns and am not sure whether this will be a genre for me going forward or not. What I really liked about this story of McGrath’s ability to create such a strong female character. Hettie is faced with lots of decisions and danger, but doesn’t back down just because it might be easier to do so. She makes sure to push herself through adversity to help her family.

Filled with lots of action and adventure in a truly unique world made of western history and magical realism, you can find yourself getting lost in the world created for these characters. If you’re new to westerns or wanted to try one out, The Devil’s Standoff is a great introduction. Having a western foundation but also being able to relate to characters and settings, it creates a wonderful environment.
