Several disturbingly violent parts: the cold-blooded killer Blue Duck and his gang; an abducted woman is terrorized by her abductors; but besides that this has amazing writing, good characters, suspenceful plot. I wanted to know what happened to Lorena at the end, did she live a happy life or was she a broken person, never fully recovered? I really didn't like W.Call; he was a jerk. Of course I liked Gus, he's a hero. The characters were so believable, even the minor ones. You'll feel like you're in the old west. Nature was written about really well.
