Book is written from perspective of Blackfeet Native Americans and therefore includes racism, police brutality, and the impact of genocide and colonisation that is still felt by Indigenous peoples today.chriswoody94's review against another edition

The writing was tense and emotional. You could really feel the weight of generational trauma resting on the shoulders of the main characters. The way it informs all their actions is raw and drawn from a very real place. The character work is super well done. But ultimately, the monster in the story is not nearly so scary as what the men do to the ones they love.
Once we started getting chapters from the perspective of the monster, I had such a hard time being scared of her. I came to this book expecting horror and I just wasn't gripped at any point. The gore was pretty visceral at times. Very graphic, and overdone in some spots. For example
Overall, I feel like it started off strong but lost direction a little as it went.
I still recommend. But only If when you read this book you treat it like a Halloween-esque slasher film. Do that and you'll have a great time.

The only reason the book didn’t get the full five stars is mostly because Lewis’s section sort of felt complete on its own, and continued the ambiguity of the realism of the demonic entity.
