I really enjoyed this. The ending felt a little drawn out which I didn't like.

Thanks to NetGalley for an e-arc for review. I absolutely loved this book. The plot reminded me a lot of Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden. A lot of similar topics are covered like drug and addiction problems on reservations, assault and the inefficiency of federal police services to reservations. Although this book is decidedly YA it doesn't shy away from dark and difficult themes. The main character is beautifully written and it was incredibly enjoyable to join her on a kind of coming of age journey as she discovered herself and her place in her community and the larger adult world. All this without even getting into the mystery/thriller aspect which had a good amount of twists and surprises. An all around excellent book!

Although somewhat predictive and uncomplicated, the story kept my interest. I really appreciated the links and insight to Native American teachings and culture.

I couldn’t put it down. Daunis’s story will stay with me for a very long time.

I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. Giving voice to Native women, their strength, power, and grace. Books are good medicine. Thank you Angeline Boulley for this dose.

Would have been 5 stars, but there aren’t clear trigger warnings in the description of the book. I question it’s appropriateness for a YA audience.
