Another phantasmagoric splatter western banger from Triana.

"It was funny how the kindest thing anyone had ever done for Lena was commit murder."
So... It's been a few days since I finished Ballad of the Werevixens, and honestly I still haven't recovered from it. But I think I'm finally ready to talk about it.
For a long time now, I've been itching for another book set in the Koyote universe. As soon as I heard we were getting a sequel, I was hyped. For most of this year, all I've been able to think about is that one day, this book will finally be in my hands. Now that it's here, I'm pleased to report that it's every bit as amazing and violent as the first book.
It's so hard to put into words what an epic journey this book took me on. By the end of it, my heart had been ripped from my body, and stomped into a disgusting, bloody paste before my eyes. This one is part western, part cosmic horror, part werewolf novel, part vampire flick, and all violent, graphic, obescene death. Honestly, it might even be more fucked up than the first novel. Triana really has shown himself to be the master of writing intense, vivid descriptions of death and destruction.

"She was too numb to feel her flesh begin to burn. Inez's body withered with blisters and Josie held her tighter, their melting tissue connected them, and as the sunlight grew abundant the Werevixens were awash in fire, but Josie felt the sun could never blaze the way their love had."
I cannot tell you how aggressively I want more novels set in the Koyote universe. This may be an overused phrase, but I literally cannot stop thinking about this book. It, at one point, stopped me from picking up another book, because I knew it just wouldn't be as good. Please, do yourself a favor, and read this right away.
"Evil put chains on me once, but it won't never no more. I'll fight it to my dying breath, and my soul will keep on shining even then, for aint nothin' out there that can stop it."
