Charlaine Harris
From the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, the inspiration for HBO’s True Blood, comes “a gripping, twisty-turny, thrill ride of a read” (Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author) following a young gunslinging mercenary on deadly mission through the American Southwest.In a fractured United States, a new world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards. Lizbeth Rose has a wildly fearsome reputation but these wizards are desperate. Searching the small border towns near Mexico, they’re trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner believed to be a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin. As the trio journey through an altered America—shattered into several countries after the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression—they’re set on by enemies. It’s clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their mission. Lizbeth Rose has never failed a client, but this job may stretch her to her deadly limits. “Immersive, involving, suspenseful and intriguing, with a main character you’ll love” (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author), An Easy Death is a fast-paced thriller of the highest order.

"I haven't taken a chance on a Charlaine Harris book since her Sookie Stackhouse series crashed and burned well before it was actually ended. The premise of this had me wanting to give her another chance.<br/><br/>What I liked about this was the western/paranormal feel without it being something that feels like it has been over done. The magic part isn't well defined, but doesn't need to be since Lizbeth and us readers don't really know what they are capable of.<br/><br/>If this book had a feel, I'd say emotionless. The book didn't evoke the emotions it wanted as the story played out. It was action packed, but still no emotion was felt. The mourning, the worry, the danger never hit me like it should have. I never felt like Lisbeth had any real connections or friends. Maybe it's the writing style of this book, but it just doesn't feel like you get a whole lot of Lizbeth as she tries to protect her charges who have a dangerous mission through rough territory.<br/><br/>I will be reading the next. This had me interested in the shape of the world Lisbeth lives in and what the future might hold for her."
"Great story. Jumps right into it. "
