Life isn’t easy in New Mexico; outlaws and swindlers are around every corner. Billy’s just a kid, but even he knows to watch his back and not trust anyone, even those who seem to be friends. When his partnership with the outlaws known as The Boys goes sour, Billy finds a friend and mentor in someone he really can trust. Until he’s murdered. With nothing left to lose, Billy sets out for revenge.

I wanted to put this book down after the first three chapters, mostly because of the writing style, there was very little showing and lots of telling that I got board of. The timeline is confusing, usually there’s dates when the story jumps back and forth, but there are times in the beginning explaining Billy’s past that don’t. It didn’t help that there are so many characters to keep track of and the point-of-view changes to most of them at some point.

Every woman is treated as an object who’s in love with Billy, part of the plot and why one of the other characters hates him is all because of a woman who’s taken a liking to Billy. The plot is good, but I spent most of the time confused on who and when and where things were happening.
