Multi-Book Review: The Andrew Rufus series by M. M. Crumley

The world isn’t what it seems...
Ripped through time and thrust into a world of supernatural myths and legends, young Andrew Rufus must do the impossible to survive.
A twisted magic has merged Andrew’s mind with the body of Pecos Bill, the most powerful man alive, leaving Pecos powerless to act as countless lives hang in the balance.
Against all hope, Andrew must find a way to harness Pecos’s unfathomable strength or watch as more innocents die in the onslaught of Septimis, the god-snake.
Fighting as one man, Andrew and Pecos will be pushed to their limits to hold back the tides of death; but even with all the strength in the world, will Andrew be strong enough to Embrace the Power and Become the Legend...

If you’re willing to follow a boy down the bloody road to manhood, fighting shoulder to shoulder with legends, then start reading today. You won’t regret it.

This is just the plot and book picture of the first book of seven in this series, to give you an idea of what it is about. Take a modern-day young teen, and throw him back into the body of a tall tale hero around 163 years prior, and you get this book. The author, Crumley, also has out the Immortal Doc Holliday series, of which I believe I have posted reviews on a few of the books. Both I highly recommend.

This is definitely a young adult series, and is written as such. The events that happen, well, that is why it is fiction, and being how it includes a tall-tale hero, that would be about right. I enjoyed the character backgrounds and the world building, especially as the series drew closer to the end. Not trying to ruin any story, but having read this second to most of the Doc Holliday novels, I felt a little let down. I say this in the aspect that the DH novels share a history with Andrew Rufus, and after reading the series, I figured out when they take place (but can say or I ruin the end for you). Still, a good starter series for any young reader!
