Publisher's summary

Sometimes before you can face your enemies, you need to confront yourself.

Time is running out for Shining Smith and her crew to gather the weapons they need to rescue one of their own. But will they even make it to the ultimate battle? First, they’ll need to hit the road to Charleston - a hell ride full of bandits, sex slavers, corrupt lawmen, and criminal bike gangs looking to move in on Shining’s territory.

Shining’s human allies will do anything to protect her - because they must. But will victory be worth it if she must compel more and more people to do her bidding? And will her feline warriors, the junkyard cats, remain loyal and risk their lives? Or are they just in it for the kibble?

Did not disappoint!

The sequel to Junkyard Cats is full of the same complex, unpredictable action and interactions that made the first book so enjoyable. This is not formulaic! New characters, locales and events advance Shining's story as we delve into her past and her reservations with what she has become.

Awesome

Good story. Good characters. Good narrator. The only downside is that now I have to wait for the third installment. I really enjoyed it! Thanks!

Faith Hunter is one of the most original authors out there.

This series is creative and dark, an exploration of what could well happen if we don’t get our greed and warlike stupidity under control. Better yet, it gains depth and complexity as it goes. I can’t wait to see what she does with it next.

excellent sequel

Really enjoyed the first part of the story, Junkyard Cats, and the world it creates. Junkyard Bargain continues the story, not surpassing the first novel, but leaving you craving more. I will certainly keep an eye out for more books from this series.

This is a great start to a fun series.

I have read most of Faith Hunter's Skinwalker series, and for the most part, liked it. So I was happy to see a new series, especially since it was included in the Plus catalog. I read the first, but not with a lot of attention -- I"m ADHD -- so listened again, then again, getting a little more each time.

Then the second came out!! Woot woot. I dropped what I was reading -- or re-reading -- and curled up to hear this new story. And then again. I like it. More backstory this time, good character development. Good new characters. I have to admit I want Cupcake to be my neighbor, but you can keep the guys. They are too generic. Are there no men out there who aren't tall, incredibly hot and sexy, available, and killer shots. Come on. You can do better. My man is tall, and okay looking, at our age not exactly chasing me around the bed 3 times a night, not available and I wouldn't trust him with a machete, much less a high-tech killing machine. That's okay. I get to be the strong one. Try it sometime. It is fun.

Good military science fiction. As a WV resident I liked the setting here at home.
