My Review
Ok I cannot do too much horror, in my world Stephen king scares me (i am still too chicken to read IT!) but boy do i love been scared! But I was so intrigued by the synopsis i just could not say no to joining the blog tour for this novel. So with a deep breath i started t and boy i am glad i gave it a go!
This novel was a fantastic fast-paced thriller, horror/horror style western based story with twists and turns aplenty!
When Nat Blackburn is sent to the abandoned mining town of Hecla on a mission assigned by President Teddy Roosevelt in search of answers concerning a missing troop, he has absolutely no idea the insane journey that is about to begin. Nat and Teta undertake a hair-raising and creepy journey into a mystery of the missing mixed with ghosts and mythical creatures all in search of answers while they both fight to stay alive.
