My first book by this author, but probably not the last. One of the best books I have read so far this year. Thoroughly engaging. Excellent audio.

“A folk horror epic about a ragtag posse that must track down a witch through a wild west beset by demons and ghosts.“

Quirky, totally believable characters, each with their distinct voices. Still, there is a seemingly endless stream of new names, so I took copious notes from the beginning of my audio to keep them all straight. I suppose a paper book would have been full of sticky notes… but it was part of the fun. I haven‘t felt so engaged by a book in a while. And I pretty much loved all of the characters, even the evil one(s) and the ones that only appeared briefly.

The character of Ubel Crane made me look up the Salem witch trials. Ichabod Crane came to mind. I could not really pin them down though.

I had a time as a teenager when I read Westerns and I always loved watching them. This book caught the feel of those older books and movies perfectly. Loved the descriptions of the farms, ranches, towns and people in them. I had a movie running in my head in technicolor the whole time. Maybe we could convince Tarantino to make another Western?

The plot had me hooked from the beginning. All the early threads of the different main characters pulled me along and came together nicely. Loved the epilogue! Unfortunately I took a peek at the blurb of the next book in this world. Don‘t do that, it will spoil you terribly! This is a standalone book though, don‘t worry. All the plot elements come to a well executed conclusion.

5/5 🐎🐸🤠🧙‍♀️🐰

Content warning: some pretty gory scenes. Shootings, hangings, disembowelments, plenty of deaths, including children and animals.

What the heck was that?

I have no idea what I just read, but I throughly enjoyed the ride.
This was a very interesting read, there’s witches and demons and cowboys and maybe werewolf creature. Oh also cannibalism which was unexpected and really threw me for a loop there.
There are A LOT of characters in the book and it can be hard to keep track of them all and who’s who and where they came from and why they’re mad at whom or whose wife is dead for what reason, it’s a lot to keep up with.
However, the story is great. I find many of the characters very likable I had a hard time putting the book dawn because I just wanted to get to the next chapter. I also really enjoyed that it was broken down in parts, but it also kind of gave away that some other crazy BS was about to happen to them again as well.
This story is a wild ride, literally it’s about the Wild West (see what I did there), but it’s worth the long journey and the ending I found very satisfying.

Also I got this as an ARC that I won from Goodreads so thank you and the publishers for sending me the book to read.
