Revenge by Dani Hoots

What a world!! I'm floored!

I loved it!! This is so much more than I thought. As a YA/NA LGBTQ+ sci-fi western I was floored with the detailed and dynamic world Dani has created. I was on the edge of my seat and needed to know what happened next. I loved the diverse range of characters, sexualities (I love Zach!), and connection. I cannot wait for BOOK TWO!!!!

An adventurous escape into another world so imaginatively created, it's so complex and has elements of magic, shifters, sci-fi, futuristic, cowboys, assistants, and dystopian feels.

I love fantasy and other worlds but this is the first SciFi (ish) western I've read and omg I'm hooked. The characters are so wonderfully vivid you feel like you're along for the ride as you cheat death at every turn, reveal secrets that will shock and be on the edge of your seat as you discover a truth that could change everything.

My only comment would be that the writing style was a bit unique and "backwards" in terms of certain phases being said "in the wrong order" I feel I only noticed this or had an issue with it because of my dyslexia which made parts a little challenging to read and flow through. This would totally be because I received an ARC, so this might not be the case with the final cut!

I really enjoyed the pace of this book and I was never bored or wondering where this was going. I liked the friendships and connections and am interested in seeing how the dynamic between Ellie, Cor, and Gabe. I feel for Gabe and his love for Cor, knowing he's not necessarily number 1. I worry for him and what the future holds for the whole gang.

These four have worked their way into my heart and I can not wait for the next book!! I need it now, I have so many questions, OMG!
