At times it was hard to track what was happening. The author would suddenly have the characters think back to past events with little or no transitions. It does remind me of how some Elders tell stories by telling around the story.
Even with the at times disjointed way of telling the story the ending is just perfect.

The book is essentially about a group of native men facing karma for their actions; very much a story that turns into a complete circle that makes sense quick and never misses a beat or leaves a question un-answered.
Each character you meet is realistic in a way where either you cheer them on, become shocked of their actions, or even hope for their downfall in a way. This book is very much justice that is served and a fantastic ride depicting why we should respect our cultures and not cross boundaries, otherwise there will be something valuable to pay for it.
I encourage people who enjoy a quick paced horror to read this book as the story makes sense quickly and the reader isn't left out of the circle but surrounded by it as the story picks up on a good starting beat that is both humorous and grim.
Kudos to Graham Jones for depicting us natives how we would be in tense and horrific situations, which is always making a joke or a quip for smiles.
