Brief
Lyndy is a bounty hunter whose reputation has earned her the nickname “spitfire” (English translation). She takes on a contract from her boss to find a fugitive in the Mojave desert in an attempt to generate some much needed income. During her contract she takes on a side mission for a cowboy she has a crush on and also manages to get in the bad side of the fugitive’s family member who had connections to a biker gang. Lyndy ultimately sets a trap for the fugitive, completing her task and is saved in the desert by a woman after a final showdown with the biker gang.

Accuracy of Book Profile
The book profile accurately reflects the book.
Draw of Story
The author’s writing style deftly draws you into the mind of the humorous, vulnerable, and slightly crazy mind of the protagonist Lyndy.
Possible Drawbacks
There was nothing in particular that warranted me considering putting the book down.
Use of Special Effects
THE STORY RELIES A LITTLE BIT ON SPECIAL EFFECTS
Primary Hook of Story
The protagonist is the draw. Lyndy is fun to read in every scene and compensates for a premise that seems a bit familiar.
Fanbase Potential
I could see this potentially have a large fan base if audiences connect with the protagonist.
Awards Potential
I don't see the adaptation of this story garnering awards/acclaim unless themes are explored in the future and this is connected to the protagonist in a profound way. Otherwise, I just see this as an entertaining story.
Envisioned Budget
MEDIUM BUDGET
Similar Films/TV Series
FILMS AND TELEVISION SHOWS SUCH AS ”BREAKING BAD”, ”SICARIO”, AND ”JESSICA JONES” COME TO MIND AS SIMILAR STORIES. THE FORMER TWO EXAMPLES SHARE THE SETTING/WORLD AND LATTER HAS A SIMILAR PROTAGONIST IN PERSONALITY AND OCCUPATION.
What’s New About the Story
The protagonist is refreshing, however, the plot of the story can be spiced up to stand out more. While the protagonist is investigating the bounty the author could throw in some more red herrings and plot twists to keep the story fresh.
Lead Characters
The protagonist stands out for her great combination of humor, vulnerability, and bounty skills to make for an intriguing character. The deputy is interesting for his complicated past with the protagonist and how he deals with it.
Uniqueness of Story
This story is not quite a rare gem, but it is an entertaining story that can be improved by a more thoughtful and introspective narrative concerning the protagonist’s past and how it ties to her present motivations.
Possible Formats
TV Series - Cable, TV Series - Network, TV Series - Streaming
Analyst Recommendation
CONSIDER
Justification
The story features a magnetic and entertaining protagonist that has an occupation and background that is perfect for episodic storytelling. This is an action-driven story that audiences will primarily tune in for the protagonist but with improved an original storylines that explore her character and universal themes, has the potential to be a good show.
