The book is an excellent read... I believe the author has penned one of the finest opening scenes that I have ever read in a book.-R.G. YohoReview Rating: 5 Stars Reviewed By Trudi LoPreto for Readers' Favorite Hell Bound by G.R. Williamson has all the makings for a perfect Western adventure story. I was taken back to the late 1800s to meet Peyton, Sarah, Marie, Doc Thomas, and brothers, Homer and Shawn; and what would a good Western be without the bad guys, Gussie Albright and his crew. I found it impossible to put the book down because I just had to find out if Peyton lives or gets shot; what happens to Sarah and Marie, and will there be justice served on Gussie? If you are a fan of the Western genre, Hell Bound will not disappoint! I really enjoyed this book - it would make a wonderful TV movie. Don't pass up Hell Bound; it is a riveting Western winner.
