Retribution Rails (Vengeance Road, #2) by Erin Bowman

Retribution Rails by Erin Bowman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this 2nd book in the Vengeance Road series! Awesomely narrated by Amy Melissa Bentley and Eric Michael Summerer this takes place 10 years after Vengeance Road and Kate and Jesse Colton appear (I was so so happy) but the main characters are 16 year old Charlotte Vaughn and Reese Murphy (known as the Rose kid). Charlotte is on her way to do a story for the newspaper about the railroad when the Rose Riders Gang, headed by Luther (brother), holds up the train. I was thrilled with Bowman's plot, bad boy Reece try to find redemption, after being forced into the gang and Charlotte yearns to be a reporter like Nelly Bly. There was drama galore, the gang is downright awful, Kate and Jesse are less than forthcoming, Charlotte distrusts Reece and Reece just wants out of the gang. How Bowman manages this kept me turning the pages, rooting for Kate and Charlotte and her mom and hoping against hope those Rose Riders get caught. A thrilling read!

Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awesomely narrated by Amy Rubinate, this audiobook has a kick ass heroine, Kate, who arrives home to their ranch to find her father hung. She sets off to get vengeance for those who killed her father, but she has always been told if anything happens to her father, she must go to Abe in Wickersham and he will protect her. She is given a letter by Abe's family, since he passed on 2 years ago and what she reads totally upends her world. I loved the 2 boys, Jesse and Will, the brothers who go with Kate to exact vengeance on her father's killers, the dastardly Rose gang. Taking place in the wild west, Bowman does a great job with the mining, gold, Indians, and characters affected by these times. Amy Rubinate's voices were spot on--she did Kate, an Apache girl, the two brothers all with different twangs and I loved her narration so much. You will root for Kate and not be able to stop turning those pages!!!
