Publisher Description
They're the Chosen--Winchester, Remington and Colt--brothers trained to hunt down supernatural beings using the latest steam-powered gadgetry. It's a hard legacy to shoulder, and it's about to get a lot more dangerous. . .
A Devil Of A Job
Colt Jackson has gotten his name on many a wanted poster with success in the family business: hunting supernaturals across the frontier. Lately, though, there's a sulfur stink in the wind and the Darkin population is exploding. A rift in the worlds is appearing. To close it, Colt will have to do the unthinkable and work with a demon to pass arcane boundaries no human alone can cross.
Except when he summons his demon, he doesn't get some horned monstrosity: he gets a curvy redheaded succubus named Lilly, who's willing to make a bargain to become human again. He also gets Lilly's secret expertise on the machinations on the dark side of the rift. And her charm and cleverness help to get them out of what his silver-loaded pistol and mechanical horse can't. Of course, when all hell breaks loose, he might have to sacrifice his soul. But what's adventure without a little risk?
"Meyers puts the steam in steampunk." --Cherry Adair
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Meyers's steampunk western packs a sizzling demonic romance into a fast-paced quest through tiny frontier towns. Brothers Winchester, Remington, and Colt Jackson take up the family tradition of vampire and demon hunting, assisted by inventor Marley Turlock and his spectro-photometric oglifiers. Colt is looking for his father's Book of Legend, but to get it, he'll have to battle Rathe, a vampire, fallen archangel, and demon lord described as "Lucifer's ugly badman big brother." He also encounters Rathe's pawn, the succubus Lilly, and soon the supernatural sparks are flying. Meyers piles on the gee-whiz moments and eyeball kicks including a steam-powered freeze machine, electric stun guns powered by Tesla coils, and a clockwork horse in a well-crafted, eminently enjoyable story that will leave readers wanting more time with the Jackson brothers.

What a piece of crap
This was masked as a real book, but was nothing more than ridiculous sexual clichés and less sci-fi/fantasy. I’d like my money bacck.
