    Let me start by saying that I’ve never read a western, so I had no idea what to expect. Ordinarily I wouldn’t have picked up a book like Red Rock, but I came across it several times and the synopsis intrigued me. SPOILERS AHEAD: Seventeen-year old Rachel Hunter and her family are forced to sell everything when her mother falls ill with what they believe is consumption. En route to find Doc Grant, a man they believe will be able to cure her; they come across an overturned carriage and find the occupants dead. Rachel finds a sack containing gold and a note, and the family believes its good fortune since they will now be able to pay for her mother’s medical treatment. Upon arriving in Red Rock, Rachel and her family take over a General Store, and Rachel believes that things are starting to look up. She immediately meets James, the bank owner’s son, and he takes an instant liking to her. Rachel doesn’t exactly reciprocate the feelings initially. She fluctuates between being flattered by James attention and loathing his very presence. Soon Rachel finds a second suitor, Charles, and that’s when things start to get interesting. She is instantly drawn to Charles, but James doesn’t trust him. Rachel writes off James’s warning as jealously. As time passes strange and scary things start happening to Rachel and her family, and she knows that it has to do with the gold that they found on their way to Red Rock. I was ambivalent towards Rachel as a main character, at first. In the beginning she seemed slightly childish, but I chalked that up to the fact that she’d never been courted by a boy and was therefore very inexperienced. Her dislike for James surprised me, since I didn’t really see how he was that much different from Charles, who she was infatuated with from their first meeting. As the book progressed though, and Rachel got a handle on her feelings, she matured and stopped being so naïve. The mystery aspect was predictable, but there was a slight twist at the end, and I liked that as it unfolded no one was safe. I liked Rachel’s father. He was a sweet, caring man who really did want the best for his family, and was willing to do whatever it took. All I know about that period in history I learned from playing Oregon Trail, but I imagine that it was a very hard time to live in and Mr. Hunter tried to make the best of it. I liked that Rachel came to the realization on her own about Charles, and that she didn’t need to have it beaten over her head to see he was not all he seemed. While the book was a bit slow at times, I read it in a couple of sittings and was anxious to get to the end because I really wanted to know what happened. I wish that there had been about ten more pages, just so I knew for sure that James and Mr. Hunter made it back to Red Rock safely – I like closure. Red Rock was a fun and fast read with entertaining characters and an easy to follow plot. I look forward to reading more from Kimberly Patterson.
