It is my true belief that we all need more Black girl outlaw magic in our lives. Vigilante heroes abound in "The Sisters of Reckoning", book two in the duology by Charlotte Nicole Davis.
We follow Aster as she works alongside the Lady Ghosts, helping Good Luck Girls and smuggling them across the border to freedom. But then another welcome house opens...and this one is...worse (seriously check the CW, though the mention is brief and we get to dive into action right away).
Davis does a great job of playing with old Western renegade tropes (think Billy the Kid legends), and sprinkles in some spooky fairy tale elements (a dabble of the original Grimm stories).
She serves up races on horse back, hiding from the law, sibling bonds that transcend all obstacles, gun-slinging action, justifiable vengeance, and all the love stories we could ask for.
Book 1 "The Good Luck Girls" is available now in paperback, so pick it and "The Sisters of Reckoning Up" if you want to escape into non-stop action.
