3.26 AVERAGE


This book is an entertaining mix of Western, action, and magical realism. I really liked the atmosphere, and the plot kept me interested until the very end. It was a very nice discovery.

Outstanding in a unique setting. Malerman followed up Bird Box with another thriller.

I lost the book 😖

So not what I was expecting. I don’t like to read summaries before starting a book but maybe I should have for this one. It took me a minute to get in the right headspace. This is a western with a supernatural twist. Outlaws, bounty hunters and scandals with a bit of magic and undying involves

The coolest premise ever made into the most boring novel ever. 360 pages but should’ve been 30.
