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.
