Read for a class. Not the greatest thing in the world, but I had a heck of a good time. Awesome. Will read again.

i honestly really loved this book! i listened on audio, and the plot was so involved— it felt like a lot of little side quests that all converged at the end.

love the idea of a little posse of people who don’t quite fit together. there was a lot going on, and the characters explored so much of the world. the worldbuilding felt very well-rounded and involved.

only detracting a bit from it because while i loved the world, i wish the characters themselves could have been explored a little bit more. this is very clearly a plot-driven book and while we do get hints of some background information, i personally would have loved to see more.

i think the pacing also slows down around the middle. i loved the beginning of the book in describing Joe and Rose’s life so much, and i wish that type of storytelling was used just a teensy bit more throughout (but that’s because i’m a character-driven person! if you prefer plot, this is def for you)

all in all i really did love the story. it intertwined western fiction and horror really well in my opinion. would def recommend for fans of this genre!

This was a fast-paced, captivating gothic horror Western and I loved every second! No slow bits and really fell for the characters through the course of the story. Not the conclusion I expected, but enjoyed it so much anyway! Most engaging novel I’ve read in ages

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me the opportunity to listen to this audiobook in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion. 

The premise of this sounded great. I especially love when horror is combined with other genres, so I was excited to dive into this. 

Pros: The music! I absolutely adored the music and the singing parts of this book. I replayed them multiple times, they were so good. There are definitely some creepy/horror parts in this. I loved how all the little elements and characters wove throughout and connected to everything. It was like little Easter eggs every time. 

Cons: It did seem to drag a little bit in the middle. 

The narrator: John Pirhalla caught my attention right away. The entire audiobook was so much fun to listen to.
