The feud between The Maddox and Drew clans continue in Hard Winter, the second book in this new series from William W. johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. Finally they have created a new series that is actually really good apart from the fact that the same kids is held hostage by the bad guys in both books. I like the fact that the books is set in three time periods to tell different stories and also the history of the two families and the ongoing dislike they have for each other. I haven't felt this positive in a long time with a book from this author and look forward to the next one. I must thank Pinnacle Books and Netgalley for letting me read this advance copy.
