DNF 64%. I could probably have do forced myself to finish this book but honestly I didn't see the point. I loved the first book and was looking forward to reading this one, but after the first promising chapter did the story go to dulltown and stayed there. So I'm calling it quits and will reading something else.

I have to admit that I wasn't that impressed in the beginning. I just didn't think so much about the story and hoped it would get better. I was not especially impressed by Step and Kenny the closeout kings and thought the story just didn't seem to be my cup of tea. Then, it started to get a bit more interesting and then the story blew me away!

Dani, "little deputy" Savage is approached by a woman claiming that her daughter went missing a couple of years ago and that the police in her County is doing nothing to find her. The situation gets even more mysterious when Dani calls the County's sheriff department and they say that the girl got run over by a train. However, there are things that just don't add up and when Dani and her uncle Otis who is the Sheriff visit the woman do they learn that that something is terribly wrong. And, it's here that I really got hooked. Here, the story becomes both engrossing and deeply unsettling. Dani and Otis learn that more women have gone missing. And, it seems that no one does anything to find them.

Luckily Step and Kenny adds a bit of humor to the story. I mean conversations about butt sex for instance? And, of course, Dani crosses paths with Step and Kenny and soon they are working together to solve the case with the missing women. And, it's a bit of an uneasy partnership, they are hitmen and she is a deputy. And, it doesn't help that Kenny has a crush on Dani.

Savage Reckoning took me by surprise. I did not think that I would enjoy the book as much as I did. But, I found myself quite taken with both the story and the characters. Dani is a fantastic character and I love her colorful past and I especially hope to read more books with her (and several of the other characters in this book), The book is great, action-filled, amusing, mysterious and heartbreaking.

I want to thank Alibi for providing me with a free copy through Netgalley for an honest review!

Received an ARC for my fair review for netgalley. This is the second part of a the series, however you can read it as a standalone you will not be lost, the writer gives you enough information that you can follow along. Even though the subject was supposed to be serious, you could not help but to laugh at times, or maybe it was my warped sense of humor. So it begins with a death of Parnell Carson found in horse stall with his pants around his ankles and the ID of a missing ATF agent, and it looks as if he was doing something interesting with the animals..yeah So while Dani, is called to investigate, 2 mysterious individuals appear, and inject themselves into the investigation. We have Jack Spivey, and does really give much information about his background. And then we have a woman who gets involve in the investigate too, who are they, and what do they want? Never the less, Dani does team up with them, and they start discover a conspiracy, there a lot of suspense. This is my first book, but it will not be my last.. enjoy!… (més)
