Lady or the Tiger by Heather M. Herrman
3.5

Oooh this book was so unique, I enjoyed it so much. It was dark and made the hair on my arms stand up. I don't read a lot of horror, but you better believe that I will run toward one that is a Western and this was a perfect combo (because Westerns already give off a horror-esque vibe just based on the time/experiences). Anyway I had NO idea what was going on for probably half the book. The POV jumped and I could not mentally merge the two POVs into the same person, they just seemed SO DIFFERENT. But I loved when it clicked and then the book raced towards the end. I will say I did not feel like this was a mystery, so that seemed like misleading marketing. The characters were fierce and hard to fully picture and Belle was such an enigma but it worked in this particular story. The ending is a bit controversial, but I did appreciate the device. I recommend this one!

Note: I listened to the audiobook and it brought the exact right amount of gravitas to this character and her story.
