A new voice (for me) in horror to eat right up. Loved this metal head, the Lofa haunting her, and the slow burn reveal about her mother who went missing two days after her birth, presumed dead. Definitely worth the read!

Edited to add: apparently the author is possibly a white woman presenting herself as indigenous, which would honestly make *so* much sense. This book felt so generically, vaguely native, with a few con picuous references to "pretendians," "generokees," and "great great grandma Cherokee princesses." But I thought it was just like how badly the author wanted us to know Kari was sooooo metal and sooo badass and hot and not like other girls. Ugh! Could've saved myself some time if I'd looked into her. Seriously, skip this trash fire.
