i enjoyed this book but around halfway through it gets a little bit slow. it picks back up again during the last quarter and definitely makes the slow pacing worth it. i did find some of it repetitive (like, i understand. kari likes heavy metal and stephen king. i get it. pls.) but it didn’t bother me too much.
in terms of plot, i really did enjoy this. this was a great horror story and i’m not super familiar with native american stories so this was really interesting to read!

brandyrae's review against another edition

3.5

Normally, I give books that are set in Denver an extra half star for being awesome but the Lakeside scene had like 10 teeny discrepancies that were just too much. Like don't go for that much detail if you're not gonna bother to get those details perfect. So, this only got a .25 star bump.

I really have to stop reading Gothic horror. I thought this was going to be more actual horror but this was definitely gothic. Haunted mystery but in my beautiful city instead of a windswept manor on the moors. It was good. Never really scary but decent mystery, cool indigenous fun facts scattered in, some stereotypes leaned on a little heavy, too much Dave Mustaine. Some stuff that was personally really hard to read and there's more people I wouldn't consider recommending this to than i think there are people I would recommend it to but I liked it well enough overall. I wouldn't read it again but I'd give the author another shot.

While the more supernatural elements felt under-developed, I so enjoyed the characters and general plot.
