A review by rock_n_reads
A Wind of Knives by Ed Kurtz

4.0

I've read some western-themed horror in the past, but this book was my first read of a more straight-up western, and I really enjoyed it. This is a tale of revenge, but it's not all violence and grit-- there are some moments that tug on the heartstrings and I felt a lot of sympathy for the protagonist. It's a novella, but there's a lot of story in the limited number of pages. The author did a great job creating believable characters, excellent pacing, and the perfect level of suspense to keep the reader flipping pages. Kurtz's writing makes me want to pick up more of his work in the future, and also explore this genre a bit more.

*Thank you to the author for providing me with an advance copy for review consideration.
