Just Another Desert Sunset: Coyote Trials Book 1 Kindle Edition

by Nikki Broadwell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 14 ratings
This book was a finalist in the Chanticleer paranormal book awards 2014 and has had two honorable mentions in other contests. Just Another Desert Sunset is part mystical encounter, part Native American mythology, part shape shifters, and part romance.

"Coyote, why do you stare at the horizon?" Raven asked, looking down from his perch in the Palo Verde. "It's just another desert sunset." But coyote didn't hear him, his attention on the human female he could smell in the distance. He stared hard, honing in on her as she drew closer. Hair the color of the sun, long legs smooth and hairless where they appeared beneath the strip of cloth. An unfamiliar sensation went through his body. The shaman promised him one wish and when that wish was granted he would walk on two legs. "I know what you're thinking, you imbecile," Raven cawed loudly, interrupting his reverie. "Do you really expect that woman to pay attention to you? Even if you look human you'll still be a filthy and disgusting animal in her eyes. Give it up, coyote, and be what you are." But coyote was already loping away...

    5.0 out of 5 stars A love story between a "coyote man
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    In "Just Another Desert Sunset" The author paints a vivid picture
    depicting our beloved Sonoran desert.
    A love story between a "coyote man, and a human woman.
    It contrasts our human versus animal natures.
    the book offers a unique look into an alternate reality.
    Where you see through the eyes of a coyote.
    Gaining insight into his realm.
    Restoring a dignity to the coyote that has been lost.
    She captures a longing many of us have
    to return to a more simple way of life.
    She honors the American Indian way of portraying animals,
    and offers the reader another way of viewing the world.
    Also pondering what it is to be human.
    I loved the book and look forward to reading more of her work.

    4.0 out of 5 stars a new love, and a coyote
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    It’s Arizona, coyote land, runaway land for Sara, who has escaped her abusive husband and finds a desert peace, a new love, and a coyote. Sara’s life changes dramatically the night the coyote saves her from being raped. From then on she and the coyote run from her criminal husband, the police, hired thugs who are being paid to kidnap her, into each other’s arms after the warm, furry animal shapeshifts into a virile, yellow-eyed Native American in long braids. They are helped by medicine men with mystical powers, a crow that warns Istaga that thinking and living as a human doesn’t suit his coyote nature. Sara loves the man as well as the coyote he is, and she needs to find a way to find a life together, once they have escaped their pursuers, if they ever do. This romantic, thoughtful, paranormal thriller intrigues and informs as the lovers struggle with their differing views of the world outside and the world within. Broadwell makes the beautiful desert come alive as her desperate characters race across it.

    This needs to be read 1st. It's starting the story with the coyote wanting to be a man and I have to read them in order. Book NOT marked as 1&2. So here again I'm reading backwards. I see above it's number #1 to bad it's not on the cover. Love it anyway so far it's exciting to see it unfold.

    If you love Tony Hillerman, and you loved the Woodwife, you will also love Just Another Desert Sunset by Nikki Broadwell. A truly entertaining coyote-shapeshifting desert novel. I was sorry when it ended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Exploring what it means to be human, through the eyes of a coyote
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015
    There were lots of things I liked about this book, but what really stands out is how Broadwell gets into the mind of the coyote, and what it's like for him to become human. We get to experience first hand his desire to be human, which his friend Raven advises against. He eventually loses his pack because of it. But the desire persists. Then the confusion about being human, trying to understand human language and behavior, trying to fit in. While I'd have to say the dialog in places feels just a bit stilted, Istaga's words always feel perfect in their innocent attempts to understand what is happening, and why. Over time he begins to feel human self-doubt and guilt, and Broadwell writes these new feelings with poignant simplicity, as when Istaga wonders why there is water coming from his eyes. So many feelings he feels, but has no names for.

    Meanwhile, Sara is struggling to find peace and safety in a world in which more than one man finds a way to impose his will upon her. It seems there is only one man who would prefer to protect Sara rather than take advantage of her, but his lack of understanding of human ways leads him inevitably to trouble in the process.

    There are two shamans, and they are both compelling characters, with very different personalities. I'm not entirely sure of the motives of the second, but his actions make sense, anyway.

    Sara ultimately must make a choice, and it's appropriately complicated. When she does choose, the result is striking and beautiful.

    I get the feeling Broadwell has spent a lot of time watching coyotes. This isn't the first of her books I've read; the previous one I liked, with reservations. I think she's really developed her writing skills since then. There's lots of beautiful writing in Just Another Desert Sunset.

    This book is a most unusual love story. I particularly enjoyed the author's description of the shape shifting coyote trying to understand our culture. Very funny and endearing!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Why did the coyote want to be a man?
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015
    The best part of this book is the main protagonist's confusion as he flips from coyote to man - he doesn't seem to fit in either world any more, and struggles to learn essential human mores. This is a strong character, well defined, and deserving of a higher calling than simply wanting to be a human so he can be with human females.
    It is almost a classic "knight in white armor" story, with themes devoted to deceit, trickery, cultural differences, and desire to change.
    With alternate chapters for the two major protagonists, the style is easy to follow. Coyote man is by far the stronger character, and I wanted to know more about him. The question "why does he want to be a man?" is never answered fully, apart from sexual desire. Perhaps coyote man will have something more profound to offer in future books of this series.
    Dialogue is excellent throughout and the reader is left in no doubt as to who is speaking to whom.
    Overall this was a quick read with an unexpected conclusion described by another reviewer as 'earthy' and I would agree with that. I am left with the feeling that coyote man deserved a deeper personality than the one given him in the story.
