I wish I had known it was hardcore Urban Fantasy beforehand because my thoughts on them really end up depending on the writing style. And I didn't like the writing style for this book. Overall, I felt like the book expected you to be in the know, but also not at the same time as a reader in regards to Native American culture.

polemos's review against another edition

Within the first few pages the protagonist chops off the head of a 12 year old girl because she's "infected" with evil. But before she does that, she explains, through narration, that she is also "infected" with evil and has been for a long time and she has to fight against it. Seems like she could have given the girl the same chance she was giving herself.

It's not clear if the evil infecting the protagonist is the same evil infecting the girl, but the protagonist herself draws a direct parallel so they must at least be similar. Or it's bad writing. Either way, the protagonist murdering a child for reasons that are, at best, vague--if not entirely immoral--is a great way for me to put down your book.
