Be Careful Who You Root For
When a violent, decades-long feud
between two powerful men comes to a head in the small settlement of Bladestay,
Colorado, cunning resident Theo Creed must use her wits to stay alive.
Disguising herself as a young boy, seventeen-year-old Theo bluffs her way into
the inner circle of August Gaines, the magnetic leader of the ruthless gang
that has descended on her town. But the deeper Theo gets into the con, the more
she starts to question her loyalties. Complicating her subterfuge is a
mysterious outlaw whose small moments of kindness contradict the blood he has
on his hands, making Theo wonder who, exactly, is conning who. To save her
town, Theo must parse façade from reality and choose between the barefaced
malevolence she’s infiltrated and an evil she didn’t know lurked at home.
My Review:
Bladestay is my first introduction to the writings from the talented author, Jackie Johnson. I thought this was a pretty good read. I enjoyed getting to know Theodora. I admired her bravery and courage. Her story was full of action, adventure, and history. I was fascinated from the start and could not put it down until I read the very last page. I loved it.
I am giving Bladestay a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading historical fiction with strong female lead characters. I would be interested in reading more like this from Jackie Johnson in the future. I believe this one should not be missed and definitely worth a read.
I received a digital copy of Jackie Johnson's Bladestay from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
About Jackie Johnson:
Jackie
Johnson is a San Diego born poet and novelist. Her background as a journalist,
BA in history, and education in armed defense gives her a uniquely authentic
voice within the historical genre. She’s been riding horses for over twenty
years and had her own real-life cowboy love story when she fell in love with
and married a horse trainer. Together, they established a ranch in Southern
California where she spends her days writing, riding, and chasing after their
dreams, their two children, four horses, six cats, and two dogs. Bladestay is
her first novel.
