It's a great mystery novel that gives Nancy Drew, and also centers native culture, real contemporary issues, and native women. Big recommend if you're looking to get sucked into something!

This cover is amazing! This story is amazing! I know that we are just half through the year, but I know that this is going to be my favorite book from 2022. This story starts kinda slow, but when it gets momentum, is a very fast read until the end.

I love Daunis, the girl that is between worlds, she is strong, stubborn and knows exactly what she wants. Stepping up to defend a community that don't look at her as equal, she does everything to take care of everyone, even to her own costs. The story is brilliantly written, the bad is very well balanced with the good. For every bad action committed by a character, there is a act of love somewhere else. For every heartbreak that Daunis is put through, there is a act of kindness to even out.

More than the story, this book brings us knowledge about (some) Indigenous culture, and that was my favorite part. I went online to learn the meaning of words, specific dances and prayers and I took a lot of notes. Angeline Boulley also writes about some troubles faced by this Indigenous communities: drugs, death and the non-stoping sexual violence towards native women. But she doesn't do it in a "let's shock readers" way... the fact is that things like the ones Angeline's writes about keep happening, and seems like no one (outside the communities) cares that much.

I learned so much from this book! I want to read it again.

in a way, i was a bit disappointed by this. it was a bit cliché and predictable in a lot of ways, and i guessed many of the "plot-twists". but i am glad that i read it! daunis was such a good character, and i absolutely loved granny june! another reason why i rated it quite low is that it was a bit too slow in some places, and that ended putting me in a reading slump :/

I learned so much while reading this beautifully written novel. Although thrillers are not my favorite genre, I'm really glad I picked up this book. Even though the plot didn't grab me until the last hundred pages, I felt deeply connected to the characters and the themes that were explored. Angeline Boulley's approach to discuss difficult and mature topics (such as racism towards Native Americans, drug (ab-)use, grief, generational trauma) was very nuanced without downplaying the horrors people had to go through. 
This book left a strong impression on me and I assume that it will follow me for some time.
