Till It Arrives is inspired by Jamie from The Perpetual Page-Turner’s Save the Date feature. Sometimes I read books that are not released anytime soon, but I want to share some of my feelings on the book right away, so Till It Arrives is born! (It also allows me to read books that appear later in my schedule, so that’s awesome too.) Since I don’t usually use GIFs in my reviews, I thought I’ll use plenty of GIFs to describe my feelings for the book I’m talking about in this feature!
Vengeance Road
Author: Erin Bowman
Series: None
Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Historical
Release Date: September 1, 2015
Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers
Summary:
When Kate Thompson’s father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there’s room for love in a heart so full of hate.
In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.
First Sentence: It weren’t no secret Pa owned the best plot of land ‘long Granite Creek, and I reckon that’s why they killed him.
My Review:
A Tale of This Is What Love Is

interesting…i haven’t read that many YA HR in the wild west 1800s setting…and i am attracted to period settings :) and gritty action scenes yay!
This is a great idea for a feature! I often reading ARC books that I want to talk about but can’t because the release date is so far away. I also love that it is all entirely done as GIFs. I was already excited for this book, but now I’m even more excited! :D
