Narrado por: Craig Hensley

Assisted by Luv Lass a young newlywed named Darcey Teller seeks to identify and to bring to justice her murdered husband's killers. Using Darcey's expertise as a photographer, the two unlikely heroines devise a machination they refer to as "The Kill Shot" as a means of accomplishing this deadly task.

It was a good story overall..:)

This is great!

This is a book to keep you on your seat. Darcey Teller one of the main characters she is amazingly smart lady. She is living the happy newly married dream. All that comes to an end when a couple of thief's end her husband's life. The shock of sitting by her husband's side during his last moments makes up Darcey's mind. She's going to find the killers and hopefully bring them to justice. Than the real adventure begins, Old wild west style.

I found myself stopping everything I was doing several times to listen to exactly what was going on in the story. The story line took me through it all Shock, sadness, that oh no feeling, and than the triumph came in the end. It was hard to believe the author could pack that much into a story line less the 6 hours long.
I would listen to this book again.

Narrated by: Craig Hensley did a great job. He really helped bring that old west style out in this story. He was great at the voice changes he did for each character.

I received this audio book free in exchange for an honest review.

A western with a strong main female character

This is a story of vengeance and justice. Two outlaws are responsible for the two people’s deaths. Darcey Teller will seek revenge, and be the strong woman in a men’s world.

I really enjoyed this western. Usually this kind of novels have male main characters but here we are up against a strong main female character helped by another outstanding woman. The characters were quite well portrayed and it was easy to connect to them.

I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but at first I had troubles to buy Darcey’s desire for revenge. It seemed a very unfortunate event but not close enough to her to justify her wrath. Things rapidly changed, and then things started to make more sense. I found some things a bit predictable, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying this book.

There is plenty of action, great dialogs, and numerous facts about old photography that would delight anyone with a little bit of curiosity about the subject. This and the fact that we have a strong woman getting her way in a men’s world are the most remarkable things in this book.

Craig Hensley’s narration was mostly correct but the women’s voices sounded all the same, and he practically just used two accents to differentiate characters. I found it a bit weird that a male narrator was chosen for a book where the two main characters are women. I think this audiobook would have worked a lot better with a female narrator.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and would recommend it to anyone into westerns and strong female characters.

I received a copy of this book in audio format from the author in exchange for an honest review.

4.5/5 Stars Fun Western Story

Summary: Darcey Teller and Luv Lass team up to take on some heartless outlaws.

Additional Comments:
- The blurb pretty much outlines the whole story.
- It's not a perfect story, but there are enough twists and turns to keep things interesting.
- Darcey's emotions are a bit hard to peg down. She goes basically ballistic over the death of a total stranger. That's weird. The husband thing I get. That makes more sense because there's a much closer connection, but the other part doesn't click.
- The friendship that grows between Darcey and Luv Lass happens in fits and spurts, which is great.
- Pacing's strange. Some sections drag on and then others pass in a blink. But the key for me is the good guys/bad guys. There are clearcut lines here, and I wanted to root for the good guys.

Conclusion: A worthwhile Western to dive in to.

*I received a copy of the audiobook, and I freely chose to review it.
(I know the stars thing should work out to a 4 but the combined effect of the story telling was pretty good. I was entertained. And this site doesn't do half stars easily.)

Good listen

What made the experience of listening to The Kill Shot the most enjoyable?

This book was a good book but I just didn't care for the narrator. This book really helped 350 miles pass by a lot faster. I do appreciate authors that spend their time writing books because it makes my job and life a lot easier and makes the miles move faster.

What other book might you compare The Kill Shot to and why?

Can't think of any

Any additional comments?

This book was a good listen I'm a trucker and it didn't take me long to finish this novel once I got it started. I would listen to another novel by this author.

Awesomely Original!

Usually when reading a western , There is a really good guy who is a snapshot and has todefend his home, town or loved ones from The evil guy or gang. With a lot at stake he goes against the yard and usually defeats them. This book is nothing at all like that. There is a bad guy or rather there’s two, but it’s not a guy out to defend his or his girls on her. It’s a woman and she is out to revenge her husband‘s death and she is a crack shot but not with a gun. This book was awesome I love that the writing was so smart and naturally funny. I especially love the things after Lily and Darcy become friends or rather the very first meeting was my favorite part. I won’t give anything away you have to read the book but trust me it is worth reading. I love this book or did I say that already. The narrator was perfect the story was perfect the book is just perfect.correct for its time I thought the author must really love westerns because only a man who loves the wild west could write such a beautiful
