Synopsis

Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as “delightfully deadpan” (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called “a clever, romantic farce” (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou—better known as werewolves.And where there are garou, there’re hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill’s Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank “the Pistol Prince” Butler.After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there’s talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving—meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they’re a day late and a Jane short.In this next read for fans of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin’, whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual?) tale of Calamity Jane.

Goodreads review by Hailey on July 12, 2020

I’m not into westerns or anything so I think this one wasn’t for me. It was a lot of fun and made me laugh out loud multiple times like the other 2 books, but I was just kind of bored a lot of the time. It wasn’t bad but definitely my least favourite of the series. Looking forward to the next ones t......more

3.75 Stars What a hairy adventure of The Wild West proportions! I LOVE Westerns. My knowledge of this particular period and its historical figures is limited. I probably messed up a few related terms. Regardless, I’ve always been captivated by cowboy culture and country music. My Calamity Jane gave me......more

Goodreads review by Wren (fablesandwren) on July 12, 2020

The cover was not orange and green, but I’m still really happy with this book! Western, our Lady Janies’ humor, talking dogs, were-umm, garous, and loads of history to be straightened out! Absolutely outstanding! - - - I'm calling this cover to be orange and green. If it's not, the rainbow will not be......more

Goodreads review by Lacey on June 20, 2020

3.5 stars Full disclosure: I don't like westerns. I don't watch them, and I don't read them (which is surprising considering how much I like drinking, poker, and shows/movies with guns). The only reason I even read this book was that I just happened to get my hands on an advance copy, which in hindsi......more
