Book Review: Long Time Gone

Finally! I had time to read a book, and review it! It seems like I have been too busy to do much of anything lately besides the fact that a nasty bug has been lingering around us for way too long, but enough about that.
It is now time to rave about this beautiful book, which will be released February 28th.
Long Time Gone is the second book in a series, of which I was aware, but after being given this book to review it gave me a wonderful excuse to buy the FIRST one; a decision I DID NOT regret in the least! I would actually recommend doing this, as you would be a little lost if you read the second book before the first. These are continuations of each other, although about different people. (There is also a novella in this series available for free on amazon. You can get that here.)
Mary Connealy has a way of bringing the characters to life. When you read one of her books, you aren't just reading a story, you become part of the story.
Long Time Gone begins with a cliffhanger. I know that sounds impossible, but I promise it's true! It held me captive for way too long. I pretty much laughed and sat on the edge of my chair for the entire duration of the book.
Trust me when I say not to read this book if you are in a hurry.
Comedy, Cowboys, Connealy..., it all goes together. I give it  FIVE stars all the way.
Also, take a look at that cover! It's whimsical, but strong. It holds just the right amount of western to keep me interested.
I would recommend this book to anyone. So I'm going to recommend it to you. :)
