Review of Too Soon to Die--5 stars


Too Soon to Die by William and JA Johnstone is a rather typical western novel that follows the traditional scheme.  There are good guys and bad guys and they get involved in a struggle for supremacy.  There are ups and downs with a sickly son of the family and a headstrong daughter.  The main character is the force of will of Storm, the patriarch and ranch owner, who has appeared in other novels in this series.  Celebrations, family, wedding festivities, loyalty, shootouts, death, kidnapping, and numerous other things happen in this action packed story.  If a reader likes the typical western novel, then this is a book to read.  It's not like the story has unexpected twists and turns but with all that this is a good story and an interesting read. 

I received the electronic format of the book from #NetGalley and am posting the review per my agreement.
