Anna's life isn't going the way she thought it would go. Her parents are fighting. Her sister isn't talking to her anymore. The reservation is being taken over by a casino. Then things take a turn for the worse when young Native Girls start to go missing. Can Anna solve the mystery before these girls go missing forever?
This book was amazing. All of the characters were fleshed out and had their own hopes and desires. Anna was especially well written, trying to figure out who she was along with trying to figure out what happened to these missing girls.
The setting was also amazingly done. The divide between the town and the reservation was palpable. The whole land seemed to come alive.
My only gripe with this book is towards the end of the book. It felt slightly rushed, like the author wasn't sure how to arrive at the ending. There was also a bit at the end that I didn't understand if it was supposed to be a metaphor or magical realism.
Besides that, this book was really amazing and I think that everyone should give it a read.
