The magical realism involving ghosts lent a dreamy quality to this book.  I’d love to read more about this world.

The mix of Native lore with an alternate United States where magic and the supernatural are even part of the court systems and law enforcement was intriguing for me. Main character was very relatable as a teenager, and her friendship with her friend Jay was heartwarming. Descriptions of the supernatural scenes were great, and the more scary ones were bordering on horrific and scary.

Her entire interaction with the spirit of vengence was very unnerving- I loved it!

Kirby is the best ghost-boy. I loved so many things about this story, but Kirby is probably my favorite.

Omg. I haven't read this in awhile but I'm so happy that Elatsoe didn't get with the bestfriend and was Ace.

3.75 rounded up!

This was one of those books that felt like middle grade plot wise; everything was extremely easy and nearly conflictless

That being said, the world building was super cool, and I loved that Ellie’s parents protected and supported her, without being overbearing or overly nice. they made sure that she had room to do her thing, but we’re always there as safety and backup

Lol at the burly bridesmaids
