Felker-Martin does pulp-y action and violence really well. She also does deeply moving, intense feelings about sex (and gender!) well. The shifts between the two things tonally weren't enjoyable for me--though perhaps that was part of the point? It reminded me in a way of Lovecraft Country, mixing real-world horror and pulp-y horror, but I was left wanting a bit more cohesion between the two.

Still, this was a fun and brutal read, alternatively, and I look forward to reading her next book.

What if Kurt Vonnegut wrote a western about a pair of hitman brothers in the wild west?

This book is fun and disturbing so far.

What a great read. Excellent characterization, wonderfully diverse themes (death, life, morality) that are never wielded with too heavy a hammer. Also one of the few books I've read in a long while that made me laugh out loud.
