1. It is incredibly hard to get over loss, whether it’s a known or unknown circumstance.
2. It is incredibly scary to open up to work on getting over those losses - which adds to the depth of this story.
3. Magical realism coupled with Native American heritage will keep you enamored and waiting for the next big reveal.
Bonus: If you love references to heavy metal and the Shining, pick this up. And will someone please get Carrie a non-watery cup of coffee.

The narrator, Tonantzin Carmelo, brought life to the story. While listening to the audiobook the characters felt distinct. The writing and narration went well together.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for providing a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
