The Bluebird (Wings of the West #5)
by Kristy McCaffrey
The author gives you a highly entertaining read that holds you attention with mystery, suspense , love triangle, with a touch of humor, fear that takes you on a compelling read leaving you guessing to who, what, when and where. Everyone is looking for the mine of all mines with a little bit of everything in it. The finder will be wealthy beyond his or her wildest dreams. Is there really such a mine or a old wife’s tale?
Molly is a very independent woman who wants to have the same rights as men. She finally gets her parents to let her travel to visit her brother in hopes of getting him to travel with her. What she finds is one missing brother, a strange man with mystery and people out to find out what she knows. There might even be someone out there that may want her dead. She doesn’t know who to trust even when she meets her brother’s partner she is afraid to trust him.
Jake is left with the unknown things just are not adding up leaving him with few answers to a lot of questions. When his partner’s sister shows up he is even more divided does she knows something he should know? Can she be trusted? Just were the heck is her brother anyway?
The supporting characters add so much to the plot giving you a story that keeps you guessing to the outcome. Is the brother dead if so who killed him? Why is her brother hiding things? Top all this off there is a man who wants it all and plans to have it one way or the other. Is he a killer? Who is killing the minders? The list goes on and on twisting and turning you all the way through the book. Just when you think you have a handle on the answers they change again. This was a very intriguing story that really holds your interest as each character must deal with murder, blackmail, betrayal as each race to find this mystery Bluebird.
I really enjoy the buildup of the relationship between Molly and Jake. The chemistry between these two is very strong from the start as they fight their attraction they butt heads pulling the reader in to see where they will take this. There is so much going against them with so many people trying to keep them apart. There are bad men, good men and some that are questionable. It does seem everyone is hiding something even dear sweet Jake. This was a very well written story that pulls you in keeping you invest in the story and characters. I really didn’t want to put it down I wanted to find out all the answers and see how the romance would turn out. If you are looking for a fast paced action packed story with mystery, questionable characters that will keep you turning the pages this is the story for you.
