Extra points for such an interesting look at Choctaw myth. The mystery/horror is a bit dry in places, but still well worth reading.
Moderate: Rape and Murder

I really enjoyed reading an indigenous myth-centred mystery but found it hard to keep picking the book up, perhaps due to how much of a slow burn this was. Once the answer to the puzzle was uncovered, it was too quickly resolved in my opinion.
Graphic: Animal death, Body horror, Death, Gore, Murder, Violence, and Blood
Moderate: Medical content, Fatphobia, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Genocide, Colonisation, Alcohol, Cursing, Stalking, and Cultural appropriation

Utterly spooky and had me tense and keeping the lights on. Loved the cosmology and the mystery. Dealt with some grisly murders and upsetting content so check content warnings for sure.
