This was such a powerful and compelling story that reflects the lived reality of many indigenous people. I was drawn into the story right away with the beautifully descriptive writing and the tension and mystery created. Though I was stressed throughout, and questioned the choices of the main character, I couldn't put it down. This is my first book from this author, and I will definitely be reading more. Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for this arc.

Guys, I have to say, I absolutely love the book club feature on Fable! I found the “Reading Indigenously” book club, and this was my first read. It was a good one. I loved being able to share thoughts after each chapter because the way Marcie Rendon wrote this one, there was a ton of buildup!
This thriller is laced with pain and trauma. The missing Indigenous women piece was the whole point (for me) of this book. The author brought awareness to the issue while also keeping it true to the fictional thriller genre and pacing.
I found myself questioning Quill’s decisions, but it also helped me realize something about myself. Quill, while she has a tendency to “run,” was also very brave and daring in ways that I would have hidden. I realized that, when faced with the drama in this book, I would be way more likely to stop going for my runs, stay in the house, and never let anyone out of my sight.
