i enjoyed the sinister vibes of this but the pacing was a bit off. i also wish we got more of noemi’s pov as having such short chapters for her, pls the present timeline seeming shorter than the past, made her story feel really fragmented.

Read an ARC courtesy of NetGalley.

Well written, creepy and sad. This follows two narrators, Louis recalling his past, and niece Noemi in present day. Louis returns to their reservation for the annual pow wow after a long time away. The day he returns, Noemi’s boyfriend is found dead.

This is a story of sorrow, fear, poverty, and ultimately mental health and generational trauma. It’s also another book being touted as horror, and I don’t know if the genre fits. It’s horrific but I don’t know if I feel comfortable calling it horror so much as dark folklore.

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

The narrator for Louie was extremely difficult to listen to. It was a distraction for the 15% I got through. I couldn't even tell you what was happening because all I could focus on was the poor narration. Maybe I'll try to do the physical book, tbd.
