A tense read with twists. The way it's written I felt I was standing there with Mack and her sister, cousin and all the aunties. Few passages gave me actual shivers, gasps and shock. Felt so many connections to the characters, esp Mack. Saw a lot of my family in hers. 

The bit about her Kokum reminded me of a dream I had once where my grandma kept telling me I had to leave and I tried to bring her with me but she said no YOU need to leave. I was having my first low blood sugar since being diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic and it was severe low...a sugar of 1.2 and my grandma had passed 4 years prior. Hair on my arm just stood up reading that part. 

Like Mr Hector said "it's like a hand comes out and touches yours" when you read something you thought unique to you and here it written down by someone you've never met and don't know.

Holy fuck man. 
A bone chilling thriller. I couldn't put it down, even when it made me freaked out of my shadows at night. 
But all in all, its a story about family and love and forgiveness. I would recommend to anyone. 

Truly, the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because thrillers aren't my absolute favourite genre. But if they are, you will love it.

Gros coup de coeur pour ce livre, tant pour le sujet que la plume de l'autrice.

I loved this so much. I related so much to the main character, being a native person who used to be around their family all the time, and now only sees them a few times a year. Whenever Mackenzie would talk about her childhood, I just felt so nostalgic. I also love books about grief, because I've experienced a lot of grief. The ending made me cry.
