Speechless. This book deserves every award and more.

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

This book is just not my cup of tea.

The mystery is too much of a slow burn. I love the fact that a native American community gets attention in a book, but all the names and especially the long prayer in chapter 13 got me losing attention.

And it doesn't help that Daunis and I almost share the same last name and that my brother's name is David. 😅

Wow, I was completely unprepared for this book. The storyline follows an indigenous community, weaving together lives of native and modern day culture. Like many neighborhoods in America today, a drug epidemic is slowly unraveling its members. And it is up to the main character to uncover its source. The writing style of the author gripped me from beginning to end, highlighting the many things I never knew about the ways native culture and the US government clash and intersect. I will definitely be reading more from this author!
