Excellent EXCELLENT followup to book one. I'd like to have seen more of her fiancee, but overall, a solid installment in this great new series!

I found A Season in Hell to be a pretty read. I am giving it four and a half stars. Looking forward to more by this author.

A Season in Hell by Easy Jackson
Tennessee Smith Western #2

Marshall Tennessee ‘Tennie’ Smith is more of a housekeeper, cook and jail keeper for the rowdy and drunk brought in from the plentiful bars of Ring Bit. In the first book she evidently arrived in town as a mail order bride that lost her husband within hours of the wedding ceremony and took on three stepsons. In book two she is engaged to a ranger named Wash but we don’t see much of him. There are plenty of happenings in town, many characters that pass through the story and quite a number of adventures experienced. There is travel by stagecoach and train, kidnapping, murder, robberies, a trip to the south from Texas, boyhood shenanigans and a lot more. This book was packed with adventure and read a bit more like a dime novel than any Western I have read in the past. That said, the story was well written and held my interest. I am not sure what Tennie will end up doing in book three but since this book ends with a rather negative surprise that will require Tennie to make some big decisions there really needs to be at least one more book, I think.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Pinnacle for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars
