This is the most recent installment in the splatter western series - (book 9) and my third splatter Western I have read now, in no particular order. I love that they can all be read as standalones.
Shadow of the Vulture has all the typical elements of a splatter Western that we know and love but also stands in its own individual right. It’s a tale told from an own voices perspective which I always appreciate. I also loved the weaving in of witchcraft and magic throughout this one.
Considering the short length I also found character development to be quite strong. I enjoyed Juana and Analisa the most.
I have one minor criticism of this book and that is I wish it would have been longer because I was left wanting more. More from the characters and the story.

Recipe for a badass book:
1/2 cup Splatter Western
1 cup Mexican POV
A heaping spoonful of murder
Sprinkle in some magic
A dash of witchiness
Toss in as many kick ass women as you can handle
Tada! You've created Shadow of the Vulture.
Thank you Deaths Head Press for sending me a copy.
