Review: Blood Howl by Robin Saxon and Alex Kidwell

Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Length: Novel
Requested


Blurb: Gun for hire Jed Walker doesn’t figure it for a difficult job—a simple smash and grab retrieval—except his new client doesn’t want money or goods. He wants shy, gorgeous Redford Reed, a man who turns Jed’s world upside down inside a day. He is in no way prepared to fall hard and fast for his newest assignment.

Redford Reed lives his life locked in his grandmother’s house, haunted by a terrible curse and watching the world pass him by until Jed shows up, sent by a man who will stop at nothing to claim Redford as his own. Teaming up with Jed is Redford’s only chance at survival, but as the violence escalates, so does the tension between them. Even though they each finally have something to live for, now it’s going to take all Jed’s skill and every bit of courage Redford has just to stay alive.

Reviewed by Joe: I really liked this book. It was interesting and very well written. Ms. Saxon and Ms. Kidwell collaborate very well together and I am anxious to read more of their work. I hope that they continue to write more stories involving Jed and Redford because I really liked them and I would love to read more adventures about them.

Both of the characters are crisp, sharp and distinct, the dialogue is vivid and the descriptions paint a nice picture. The reader is able to visualize every scene as if they were at a movie. It’s always nice to read a book written by an author who is a true painter and in this case we are treated to two painters who are obviously very well trained in their crafts; it’s like if Picasso and Monet had collaborated on a painting together.

I also thought the sex scenes were hot without being too explicit; something that is easy to do in this genre, but the authors were able to create a nice balance that will satisfy seasoned readers of this genre without scaring off potential new fans.
