⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think this may be my first Western horror and I absolutely loved it.
We follow a pair of bounty hunters, Ada and Pearl, who happen to also be a queer, interracial, married couple. After a wealthy family are slaughtered by a prairie-mad settler, a large bounty is put on his head and Ada and Pearl set off in pursuit, hoping to claim the reward. After witnessing a horrific murder of a fellow bounty-hunter, the trail leads them to the small hamlet of Woodlawn, where they discover the culprit may not even be human.
This was so damn good. The writing was fantastic, the pacing perfect, and the tension building on point. Ada and Pearl were the best FMCs (and we need more from them, please!). I loved their relationship; the way they love each other, and learn from each other. The book touches on themes of racism, colonialism, misogyny, homophobia, and expertly weaves them throughout the main paranormal horror storyline. I also really appreciated the references to real-life incidents such as The Sand Creek Massacre.
Overall, a fantastic story that I would highly recommend. Read. This. Book.
