Carved from the rugged Chiricahua Mountains, the intimidating spire, Thunder Peak, slashes the sky, haunting the southern reaches of the Arizona Territory and looming over Itza Chu Canyon. Staked in the darkest corner of Thunder Peak’s shadow lies the Tamm Ranch and Orchard, run by Civil War veteran Jonas Tamm.

Jonas lives with his adopted daughter Casey, and knows more about the mysterious canyon they live in than anyone. When Casey rescues a hornless, juvenile unicorn from a bloodthirsty wolfpack, Jonas realizes that it's time to tell her those secrets. Secrets that will cast them in a race against time to get the unicorn home- and array them against an ancient predator. A merciless nightmare of fang and claw who also wants to get home. A destination that lies at the end of but one path: The destruction of Casey and her beloved unicorn. (From Author's Website)


Review:

~I'd like to thank the awesome author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~

Ok, this book really surprised me. In a good way.

At first, it was a bit slow, and the switching POVs was a tad confusing.

However, when I got more into the book, I really enjoyed it! It was faster-paced, the POVs were clearer, and the ending had a great cliffhanger! (And y'all know how I love cliffhangers!)

I love how the author takes the concept of having a fantasy novel set in the wild west. I was wondering how this would play out, but it actually worked very well. The fantasy wasn't overdone, and both genres were mixed together perfectly.

All in all, I'd say this is definitely a great read if you're struggling to decide whether you're in the mood for a historical or fantasy novel. Cause why not just settle for a blend of both when you can, right? XD

Definitely recommended, and I can't wait for the sequel!


Things I Loved:

-It got better towards the end

-The plot was well developed


Things I Didn't Love:

-It was a bit slow at first, and the switching POVs was confusing, but later on, this cleared up.


In Conclusion:

Get ready for an epic adventure in an amazing genre-blend, with super characters!


Recommended?:

Yes, definitely!
