I had to really push myself to read this book the first half. It could be the writing style or just shifting from another book but I had to read it slowly and reread to understand. Not complex wording just talk to text speech. Once I got through the first half it did seem to get easier to consume.
Story was simple, characters were brief but good. I got a wendigo vibe from it for sure. 
I believe this is a good story for horror readers to branch out into. I did really appreciate the acknowledgement from the reader as there is clearly a whole other world of books by indigenous authors (indigenous comic con?! Yes please!).
Take your time with this one- it’s worth the patience and work for the end. Also, if you like basketball, there’s a lot of love for it here surprisingly

sooooo fucked up in such a good way. the writing style is AMAZING and works so well in showing you who the characters are and where their heads are at, including and especially when those aren’t good places to be. i do think the last half dragged a bit which broke the tension a bit. overall really good at  bottling that dread and helplessness and despair and rage that the characters are feeling and force feeding it to you. the thread of storytelling throughout is vvv reflective and chefs kiss
