The topics covered in this book make me feel angry. 

Grace was 15.

It makes me angry, and furious that there are thousands of families experiencing what the Horn family and the Takoda tribe experienced.  

In addition to the content, I also struggled to follow the story telling and time-jumping timelines. I couldn’t understand how some of the folklore tied into the story at times.  I also had trouble understanding Anna as a character. 

This book is going to stick with me for a while though. A haunting story.

This book was absolutely wonderful with its commentary on a lot of issues. The only thing I felt It lacked was closure. We never get to see if justice is given to the victims and perpetrators which is historically a huge issue in native American crime and violence, but the story that was actually put on the page was absolutely fantastic, thrilling, and complex.
