Why read it?

1 author picked Hangfire as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What makes Hangire such a great ass-kicking novel is that it’s clear the author knows guns and gunfight strategy. The action is crisp, but aggressively realistic. Tension never ceases—if it’s not shooting up bad guys, it’s with a dash of romance or a smidge of mystery. The writing is confident and action-packed. Even the title, am I right? 

From S.C.'s list on with some serious ass-kicking.
