Juliette Douglas’ third installment in the highly acclaimed Freckled Venom western novel series is Freckled Venom: Skeletons. This third book, set in the year 1888, is a thrilling, action-packed, suspense story of eight outlaws with Big Joe Kannon as the main antagonist. These outlaws steal children, and sell them to Del Rio, a human trafficker in Mexico, for slave labor. The Marshal, Rawley, of White River, Wyoming and his wife and deputy marshal, Lacy, a former bounty hunter, are hated by Kannon. This leads Kannon, as the ringleader, to arrange to have fourteen children stolen from the local school. Two of the children are the marshal’s children. These youngins don’t take lightly to being kidnapped. Three of the young boys and one of the girls take charge. Eventually, they escape the clutches of the bad guys, but the young leaders have to remain strong to keep their young group together.
Skeletons is an extremely interesting story. In fact, I didn’t want to put it down. Author, Juliette Douglas, tells this intriguing story with a fabulous blend of authentic old west dialect and humor. Though the story expresses the terribly challenging conditions the children endured it is a story that will pull you in and warm your heart. The only drawback was that I had not read the previous two books in the Freckled Venom series. I believe that had I read them first, Skeletons would have been even more capitivating. Anyone that loves old west stories with strong female characters and the firey energy and strength children often show will really enjoy Freckled Venom: Skeletons by Juliette Douglas. I highly recommend it.
