The Devil's Revolver by V.S. McGrath

4.0

Hettie Alabama is a girl on a mission. Her father had a secret past life she knew nothing about as the leader of a band of outlaws and wielder of a cursed weapon called the Devil’s Revolver. Now Hettie’s parents are dead, her sister has been kidnapped, and it seems every bad guy in the West is after the gun which is now in her possession. Hettie can’t tell who is good and who is bad, who’s on her side and who’s against her, which makes for a decidedly uneasy read. I love the worldbuilding in this one, the way magic is everywhere but different people can use it in different ways and it’s not all created equal. A dark, violent, messy ride.
