Bullets and Silver by Nik James Caleb Marlowe #2 Another riveting read in a wonderful Western series! Caleb Marlowe is definitely a force to be reckoned with and someone you want on your side…not against you! What I liked: * Caleb: a man of his word, excellent marksman, quick draw when necessary, good friend, capable, intelligent, sees issues that need to be handled and deals with them in the appropriate way…really like him and this series. * Sheila: Doc Burnett’s daughter, raised by grandparents on the east coast, finding her feet in the West, strong, resourceful, has her eye on Caleb and might be perfect for him…eventually * Doc Burnett: town doctor, willingly treats any patient, sees people clearly for what they truly are, good father, good friend * Malachi: Blacksmith, father of Gabe, took young Paddy in – the three will probably play parts in the future books of the series * Zeke: the sheriff…curious about him and what part he will play in the future * The group that saved Caleb when he was in medical need…and how Caleb assisted them in the end * Red Annie: strong woman, independent, great shot, skilled on the trail, friend to Caleb, a good sort that I would like to see again…wondering if she might have a yen for Caleb’s partner Henry Jordan * Henry: has a story of his own and loved it, too. Glad he showed up at the end of this story and hope to see him again soon * Bear: a wonderful dog that accepted Caleb as his own * Thinking about what life might have been like back then and being glad I live now * The tie-in of Elijah Starr-evil personified and someone that should be put down like the rabid dog he is * Knowing that there is another book to look forward to What I didn’t like: * Elijah Starr and the thugs employed by him - villains it was easy to hate * Thinking about the prejudice that was rampant at that time and wishing that it did not still exist * Knowing that people like Judge Patterson and Robber Barron Eric Goulden weren’t much different one from the other…and wondering what they might get up to in the future. * Having to wait for the next book to be ready to read. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Definitely! Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Caleb is commissioned to bring Starr in to face justice after the assassination attempt, but he has his own burning agenda. Starr is his own father, the man who abused and murdered Caleb's mother.

I am giving Bullets and Silver five stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading historical westerns. I look forward to reading the other books from the Caleb Marlowe series, especially the first book, High Country Justice, to find out what happened previously.
I received a paperback copy of Bullets and Silver from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. ( )
