Description
Revenge is worth its weight in gold.When her father is murdered for a journal revealing the location of a hidden gold mine, eighteen-year-old Kate Thompson disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers—and justice. What she finds are untrustworthy strangers, endless dust and heat, and a surprising band of allies, among them a young Apache girl and a pair of stubborn brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, a startling truth becomes clear: some men will stop at nothing to get their hands on gold, and Kate’s quest for revenge may prove fatal.
My thoughts
I like characters how are kick-ass and pretend to be boys.
I love this book. The main character is a hothead, stubborn and definitely not perfect, but that made her real for me. And the dialog was great, I think cowboys sound like that but I’m no expert on that. I haven’t read a YA western before but now I wane read more YA westerns. It was the right amount of romance, adventure and action. I would recommend this to someone how wants a story with a kick-ass girl protagonist.

By the way look at that stunning cover! If that doesn't intrigue you I don't know what will.
