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

**anxious in a good way!!**
an incredible read! a gripping story on grief thru the lens of indigenous folk horror and it’s amazing from start to finish. if i had a physical copy of this book, and you asked me to highlight/underline all of the banger lines it would be filled to the brim with my fave bright purple highlighter, believe that!
also, this story has such a beautiful conclusion it had me tearing up. this author truly has a way with words and their writing style adds so much! had a great time reading bad cree!

I really enjoyed this book. Been in a bit of a reading slump but this was so intriguing I had to push through, and I’m glad I did. Very mysterious and tense story. I will say the ending felt a little rushed. I feel like the

fight with the wheetigo

could have been longer and more detailed. But otherwise very exciting story.

This book was great on audio, the characters really came alive. This is a chilling story that revolves around sisterhood, complicated family dynamics, and self forgiveness. I thought Johns did a fantastic job taking a practical, relatable situation and spinning it in the direction of horror and folktales that many of us have heard. Several scenes in this made me feel like I needed to catch my breath, but I really fell in love with our main character and her family. Totally a story of strong women supporting each other intergenerationally. Cannot wait to see what this author does next!
