This was a difficult book for me to get into, it wasn’t until I was ½ way though that I really became invested in the story.

Once I was hooked though that was it. I finished the book in a matter of hours because I just had to know how it ended and if Justice was served. There are many lessons to be learned from this book. Lots of little tidbits of information that I can remember my grandmother telling me that I had almost forgotten. If nothing else, it’s a good read for those tidbits alone.

This story is about  Daunis who was born and raised in between two worlds and is set in 2004. She goes undercover to help the FBI investigate a lethal mix of meth. Turns out it's a lot more complicated and intense than she could have ever imagined.

Learning about the native Ojibwe tribal traditions, life and laws was pretty great and really interesting. I love it, when native languages are used and translated, which helps the reader learn. 
What I didn't like and don't understand why it was necessary in an already tense book was the sexual assault. 
Check TW and CW if you're interested in reading this.
