THIS HAD EVERYTHING IN A BOOK FOR ME. I could not stop listening or thinking about this book. We follow Daunis Fontaine, who is half Ojibwe, half white, trying to navigate her final year of school without her uncle.

Daunis witnesses a terrible crime and gets swept into more than she could have bargained for. You have the thrills, you have the romance, you have heart-stopping moments that make you question what will happen next, and most importantly, you are learning about Ojibwe culture.

What was nice about the audiobook is that every word was pronounced and I felt like that allowed me to read the book faster without trying to look up the pronunciations on my own. When I read in my head, I like to get all the words right, but the audiobook helped me out a lot and made it very accessible.

I also love that the author pulled this scenario from her own experiences, it made it feel that much more real for a fiction book. I HIGHLY recommend adding this one to any reading list you have.
