This debut novel blew me away! It captures the complexities of grief and the anguish the loved ones of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people must feel and layers it with an intricate mystery and a sense of foreboding. I've read 14 books this year and Looking for Smoke is my favorite by far!

Finally a thriller I can get behind. I have been thoroughly engaged in solving the mystery age at every turn I can’t wait to see what happen next.

This is a hit for me when it comes to YA!

This was SO compelling! I was on the edge of my seat as it all unfolded, and these kids have my whole heart.

hm, es war sehr spannend einen Einblick in das Leben auf dem Reservat und von Ureinwohnern generell zu bekommen. Die Handlung ist eher zu vernachlässigen und trägt keine richtige Spannung noch ist das Ende in irgendeiner Form unerwartet. Es ist ein Debütroman also kann ich mir durchaus vorstellen noch andere Bücher dieser Autorin zu lesen.
