"Sisters of the Lost Nation" follows Anna Horn. Anna is a young Native girl who lives on a reservation with her family. She struggles to fit in at school and is constantly being bullied. When Anna is at work, she begins to see things that are suspicious, and she thinks the shady behavior is linked to the disappearances of other Native girls from the reservation. When Anna's own little sister, Grace, becomes one of the missing girls, she will stop at nothing to bring Grace home.
At the end of this novel, we get to learn that this book was inspired by real events that are presently happening. I think this novel does a great job at merging fiction and true crime to spread awareness to a problem that a lot of people are unaware of, because this problem does not get the attention it warrants.
This novel is marketed as a horror/mystery, and it definitely is, but I think it is a horror in a different way. The novel relies on some Native lore that might not read "scary" to all, but if it is lore that you believe in, it adds a haunting quality to the story that makes it feel all the more high stakes for Anna and Grace.
Anna was such a smart and brave character to read from. Even though she felt like an outcast, she remained true to who she is. She also had a complicated relationship with her sister, but she still showed compassion and concern when she went missing, which was great to see.
I flew through this novel and did not want to put it down. The writing was approachable and very easy to read.
I will definitely be keeping Nick Medina on my radar and I highly recommend this novel!
