Title: An Easy Death (Gunnie Rose Book 1) Pdf
“A gripping, twisty-turny, thrill ride of a read.” —Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her
“When a master of her craft offers to tell you a story, let her. The results are dazzling.” —Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning Wayward Children series.
The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, the inspiration for HBO’s True Blood, and the Midnight Crossroad trilogy adapted for NBC’s Midnight, Texas, has written a taut new thriller—the first in the Gunnie Rose series—centered on a young gunslinging mercenary, Lizbeth Rose.
Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose. Battered by a run across the border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they’re at a desperate crossroad, even if they won’t admit it. They’re searching through the small border towns near Mexico, trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner, Oleg Karkarov. The wizards believe Oleg is a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin, and that Oleg’s blood can save the young tsar’s life.
As the trio journey through an altered America, shattered into several countries by the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression, they’re set on by enemies. It’s clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their mission. Lizbeth Rose is a gunnie who has never failed a client, but her oath will test all of her skills and resolve to get them all out alive.
Unexpected I loved the Sookie, Aurora, Lily and Midnight series. I own them all on paper and duplicates on my Kindle. I also have two stand alone books. That said, my excitement when I saw this first in a new series was such I bought the book on Kindle. I read it last night. The kill rate is immense and somewhat overdone. I wish more words had been used to establish the background of influenza, government breakdown, invasion and breakup of the country. Instead of giving us that first, it is dribbled throughout the book. The killing begins early and often, with asides of magicians, Comanche, rape (attempted and successful) bathing and amazing recovery from being shot. I won't be continuing with this series. I don't think this is her best work.Action Fantasy, plenty of both. Book #1 of a new series. Brisk read. I gave Harris a wide berth after the last few books in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I wasn't satisfied and I moved on to other authors. This is the first book in a new series and it is tightly written with plenty of excitement. Lizbeth is a gun for hire on the margins. Her work involves lots of loss and rubbing shoulders with the magical world. I'd call it a page turner; you could easily read this in a day. Harris does a nice job here with character. I wasn't that much drawn into the Russian plot but I did like the interplay amongst the characters. Lots of guns, quick deaths and a brief rape scene early in the book. This is a violent culture with a barter economy and a lot of social mores.I was pleasantly surprised at how well constructed this book was; my follow up reader (husband) felt the gun content was accurate so nice work with that. My house smells like Hoppe's gun oil right now! For anyone who likes a fast moving adventure with fantasy.Outstanding fantasy/ western/ alternate history / character study You ain't never nohow no way met nobody like Gunnie Rose. And you surely haven't met enough books like this one in your life. Best Charlaine Harris book yet, and I have read 'em and adored 'em all from the start.This one kept me long at lunch, up late nights, and up early mornings. My chores went undone and the yearning to get back to reading was something powerful, something I haven't felt in a number of years. Gunnie Rose is a total winner of a character, a fast-shooting, insightful, unique-voiced woman with standards. I refuse to tell you one iota of the plot, it should surprise you at every turn like it did me!Don't be reading the other reviews, stay away from spoilers, and get to gettin', because you're in for a wild ride. Hang onto your standards, hang onto your hat, fork over your money; you can thank me later. My wish for you: may all your books be this good and may you have an easy death.
