This is the second Kit Barker book, which started with Shadow of Wolves and I am very excited to continue Kit Barker's adventures. Such a compelling character. It's mainly like a western with a spooky supernatural kind of vibe to it.

but, I at the time of recording I'm about 34% of the way through Shadowmarch and I am having a wonderful time and I want to keep that momentum going so that if I read this fantasy book, A, I won't get horror burnout because this is going to, of course, take me all month.
And then I tried Son of the Poison Rose and that didn't end up working for me.
And yeah, so far I'm really liking it. We've got an older sheriff. We've got a like murdered and cocooned family up in the rafters of their barn.
