I truely enjoy Nesciri's writing, and this one definately lived up to my expectations.
It puts such a different spin on the relationship between Ike and Buck. I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys Ike and Buck stories read this one! :)

I recently rediscovered this story and it is even more entertaining the second time! Evermore has written a completely unique twist to the medicine pouch incident and we see what the spirits really thought of Cody's trick and Buck's retaliation. "Nothing Sacred" is a fun and imaginative read with a few lessons tossed in along the way.

I never in a million years would have thought of pairing Lou's little sister with Buck. And you know what, it worked.
