I love when I read a book that is unlike any book I’ve ever read before. This book opened up new worlds because I’ve not really read any contemporary books with Native people as the main characters. Learning about Native culture and customs through this novel was a breathtaking experience. The plot is believable, the characters choose paths that are unexpected, and the ending is sad but gives you a sense of finality as well.

Overall I very much enjoyed the mystery at the core of the story. At least in audiobook form there was a few times I got confused as to what had been actually said/what was just in Daunis' head as fantasy. However, the audiobook was excellent for all more unique pronunciations both with being in the UP and with introducing what to most readers is an unfamiliar language. I will say the narrator did mess up the pronunciation of pastys (coming from someone who spent 4 years in the UP and who's best friend is a UP local) pronouncing them the way you would pasties - which are very different. 

For me this was a fun and worthwhile read and while I had inklings about who might be behind the mystery, there were too many moving parts for me to guess before the culprits were revealed.

The representation in this book is so amazing and the fact that it doesn't hude the dark side of their community is amazing. It doesn't hude real things that gcould happen while investigating and it was sad. Also it was funny because daunis hated Jamie one chapter then. Hated him the other. then lived him again💀

Pretty slow in the beginning but picks up a bit when the action hits. The topics discussed are difficult but necessary. I was a little shocked about one character, but at the same time I kind of guessed their involvement with the drugs.
Overall liked it and would be willing to check out more from the author. Also really enjoyed the narrator.
