Too much telling, not enough showing. I had a hard time disappearing into this story. But I loved a lot of aspects of it. It was sad. And I learned a lot.

While I was expecting more of a strictly horror novel this book was more like a thriller with ghosts. However it was a really good thriller! Kari tries to solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance when she was only 2 days old and the journey leads her not only to the answer but also to a new outlook on her own past, grief, identity, and family. It was a wonderful mix of metal, horror, and Indigenous life and culture. Overall a story of hope and healing. I really enjoyed this one! 7/10
