I don't know how or why Last of the Ravagers is only my second book from @bryan_smith, but after reading this and Merciless a while back, that needs to change. 

Last of the Ravagers is a violent whirlwind of a book where otherworldly forces descend on a sleepy desert town, completely unaware of the other worlds that exist around them, as well as their place in it. 

The crux of the plot revolves around Doyle, a god-like figure that speaks to and reanimates the dead, who also exerts powerful control over the living through charisma and magic. Doyle didn't travel here alone though, and he has a hunter hot on his tail...

Told through shifting POVs, this splatter western has it all and is definitely in the upper tier of the series from @deaths_head_press. 

I'm very excited to stay on this journey with them and to dive into Smith's catalog 🤘
