BoomwildBoomwild by Kildare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In 2012, North Dakota experienced a modern-day Oil Boom. As the major Oil corporations all vied for land and power, the locals all strived to protect their lands and people. Some of those locals are Gena Blood Crow a tribal cop and Boots Charging Thunder, a rancher who is fed up with the Oil Corporations. They are pitted against not just the corporations, but also the hitman that has been hired to get rid of them and anyone else standing in the way of the Oil Giants.
This gripping and dirty tale of corruption, greed and the ultimate showdown between the little guy and the big corporation will have you intrigued and turning pages. Set in a real event but with fictional characters, you will be taken on a rough and wild ride through this tumultuous time. I really enjoyed the story, I remember news reports about this time in North Dakota, and this was a well written book that perfectly encapsulated the time.
