Silverhorn Canyon: the place Willa MacLeod has known her entire life, yet never dared to cross.
“One of the most basic conditions of love is that someone wonders where you are when you don’t come home.”

I really enjoyed this book. Willa proved to be a strong character throughout the book, although I did think the romance developed fairly quickly. I enjoyed the imagery of the canyon and the nearby town, which was so vivid that I wished I could’ve been hiking nearby. There were so many things I enjoyed about this book and it ended up being rather unique in its plot development. I definitely look forward to reading more from this author.

Silverhorn follows Willa, a rock singer who lives off the Silverhorn with her father and their ranch hand, and she has been out to find the Silverhorn Deer for a long time. The fact that their land is the only access to the public hunting place, and they never allow strangers access, sets up this novel.

This novel has a LOT of fantasy elements, a few shifters in it, some very old beings, and was an enjoyable read when we finally met the love interest and after some issues with her father.

While this novel is well written, and if you are looking for a different kind of romance with a fantasy twist, this novel was hard to get through. I think, what caused that, was the fact that the humor was very dry and that the characters, while they had depth, were somewhat difficult to relate to and that the story dragged on a bit.

This is a novel that deals with very serious issues, and does a good job of that. It just dragged a bit.

Silverhorn is a delightful integration of myth and fantasy with reality. I love the way the characters are diverse and colourful in their personality it traits. It makes them people you can either relate with or at the very least visualize. The tempo of the book falters in parts but overall it is an interesting read and I definitely recommend it.

A very good fantasy book that mixes elements from different mythology and features a great main characters.
I hope this is a series and there will be another instalment.
Recommended!

I wasn't sure about this to start with, and I don't have an unequivocally positive response at the end, but I can say that I did quite enjoy it. It felt uneven; the tone shifted from a kind of "high fantasy" diction to the "hip" slang of rock musicians. I take issue with some of the views about wolves expressed in this book, though I wouldn't condemn the whole book because of that. It's a bit of an awkward mix of contemporary fantasy, Celtic mythology, and Native mythology. The romance is the best part of it. I'm not sure whether or not this is the author's first novel, but it has that feel. I think it has promise - there's obviously going to be a sequel, and I could be persuaded to read it.
