This was such a unique plot and the framing for the mystery investigation was one I haven't Come across in a ya book before. And even though it was a mystery I was just as deeply invested in the everyday lives of the characters and loved them just as deeply.
Trigger warnings: domestic abuse leading to murder (on page), ptsd flashbacks and grief, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), rape, drug use and abuse.

Ich stehe als Statue von einem Mädchen erstarrt im Wald, nur meine Augen bewegen sich...

🎧 als Hörbuch gehört
Es sind schon mehrere Wochen vergangen, seid ich mit diesem Hörbuch fertig geworden bin und ich warte immer noch auf die große Eingebung, wie ich dieses Buch jetzt finden soll... Der Hype hat mich noch immer nicht erfasst.
Was ich mochte:
+ das Setting in Michigan an der kanadischen Grenze, die Seen, die Natur... das Setting war meine liebste Rolle
+ Native Tribes! Als erstes Werk aus dem Genre First Nations Literature bin ich jedenfalls sehr erpicht noch weiter einzutauchen
+ die Protagonistin Daunis war super sympathisch
+ die Geschichte war spannend, nimmt gegen Schluss nochmal richtig Fahrt auf und entwickelt sich zu einem richtigen Thriller
+ allgemein, der Schreibstil sehr angenehm
+
Was mich davon abhält 5 Sterne zu geben:
- es war stellenweise soooo zäh, dass ich gar nicht Lust hatte weiterzuhören, einfach viel unnötige Nebenhandlungen, um noch ein paar Seiten mehr zu füllen... dadurch hatte man das Gefühl es passiert hier nichts, furchtbar langatmig.
- Es waren für meinen Geschmack zu viele Charaktere und es war mir nicht so ganz klar, wer da jetzt wichtig ist, wen man sich jetzt merken soll. Und ich glaube manche wurden mehrmals erwähnt, wurden von mir aber dann später wieder als jemand anderes (neues) wahrgenommen. Mir ist klar, dass es hier auch um die Community geht, und da sind halt mehrere Personen erforderlich, aber verwirrt hat es mich trotzdem. 😃 Vielleicht lag es auch daran, dass ich das Hörbuch gehört habe, vielleicht wäre es mir beim Lesen nicht so gegangen.
- Idk, irgendwie fühlte ich Daunis Verlust von Lily gar nicht, außer das sie oft an sie denkt... Aber gut, jeder trauert anders 🤷♀🤷♀
- mein größter Kritikpunkt (TW Vergewaltigung):
... wenn unsere geliebten Menschen sterben, lebt die Liebe in der Gegenwart weiter...
