ALA Booklist

The second book in the Wanted series finds 17-year-old Grace struggling to make ends meet while working as a bounty hunter. Although she is still focused on avenging her family's death at the hands of the Guiltless Gang, the trail has gone cold, and tracking down other criminals nets just enough money to pay the bills. Still, she misses Joe and the warm community of the Ndeh tribe with whom he lives. She wonders if leaving was the right thing to do, but any doubts are erased when Grace suspects the Guiltless Gang is planning a train robbery. Returning fans won't be disappointed in the breakneck pacing, tense fight scenes, and increasingly steamy romantic scenes with Joe. Throughout, Grace shows some character growth, struggling to balance her need for revenge with greater happiness. The author tries to portray the Ndeh in a positive light, but it is negated somewhat by problematic dialogue and romanticized depictions. Despite its technical shortcomings, this will satisfy readers looking for a fun, action-packed adventure with one tough heroine.

Grace Milton has only one goal: bring to justice the Guiltless Gang, the outlaws who slaughtered her family. That's why she had to abandoned Joe and the Apache -- she couldn't afford any distractions. Now she's making her living as one of the only female bounty hunter in the Wild West, despite the doubts and protests of others. But when Joe shows up in town, Grace is torn. Feelings she thought she had left behind at the Apache camp are rekindled, and the passion threatens to pull her away from her mission. But soon rumors surface that two members of the Guiltless Gang are nearby, planning a daring train robbery, and now Grace is faced with an impossible choice. Will she stay with Joe and forget her vendetta, or risk everything -- her love, her life -- to fulfill her all-consuming need for vengeance? The second book in the gripping Wanted series, this Western revenge epic is a must-read for teen readers who are fans of relentless action and suspense and heart-wrenching romance.
