Hello Fellow Readers,
First of all, Evelyn is a BMF. I had hoped going into this she would be and after reading Branches & Bone it only cemented that fact. Secondly, the mixing of Fantasy, Horror, and Western may be one of my favorite blending of genres. They just seem to go so well together, or it could be that Langillejust knows what they are doing. Either way, I must get my hands on more.
Evelyn goes through so much, from the very first story to the final chapter you can't help but root for her. I do wish the book was longer, or maybe we can get a prequel detailing Evelyn's life before the events of Branches & Bone where we see how she becomes a Pinkerton and more of her relationship with Raymond. The Ending does make me excited to see what happens in this world that Langille has created and to see what happens with Theresa.
Overall, a fast-paced story for those who love BAMF characters.

Honestly, I was intrigued by the mix of western and cosmic horror, and I was not disappointed. This tale did not let up, kept moving along and had some very choice dialogue. Stinker was also a small but wonderful delight. I do feel some of the writing was a little loose, and moved quickly but that added to the charm for me, overall. It was an easy read, and something to cozy up with if you're even remotely a fan of cosmic horror or westerns. It was a nice mix of the two, and it's mythology was very coherent and interesting as well. All in all, decadent and creepy.
