Se me hizo un poco extenso, pero me parece un muy buen libro. No sé cómo explicarlo de otra forma que decir que no era del todo para mí, pero pude reconocer mientras lo leía que a la gente le puede encantar

If you can, treat yourself to the audio version of this story. The narrator’s voice is beautiful, and the accurate pronunciation of the Native language helped me dive deeper into Daunis’ world.

This was a powerful story. From all I’ve read, learned, and heard between books and my Indigenous friends, the themes in the story ring true, sadly and tragically, especially those of addiction and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Not sure how much FBI actually care, but I would like to think that regardless of if they do, there are people like Daunis whose courage is enough to bring healing to these tribes, which are and will continue to suffer from the generational trauma of forced colonization. My heart is heavy for every single one who has died as a result and live in destitution and despair today due to the generations of pain that cause people to turn to drugs and alcohol.

5/5 stars
1/5 spice (fade to black)

This was on my shelf for too long, and I'm happy I finally got to read it. I listened to the audiobook and read in tandem because I knew I needed to hear the native words I was reading. I completely forgot this was a thriller/mystery book when I started, which wasn't a bad thing, but I also really liked how the coming of age story was integrated.

I was engaged from the start but really got hooked once the mystery started picking up. Some heavy topics were discussed that could be triggering or difficult for readers younger than 16. There was some intimacy and implied sexual content, but nothing too descriptive. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it for fans of murder mystery, Native American representation, and coming of age stories.

This one started out mellow but was throwing some heavy punches by the end. A lot of dark stuff happens, but this is an unflinching tale of things that really happen. Really love the main character. A few pieces felt unrealistic, like the ending with the love interest, but maybe she's just much more mature than most teenagers.
