Wow wow wow. 

This book is labeled as a thriller, but I don't have any clue how I'd actually classify it... there's so much going on. 

I found this book started very slow, and I hated the jumping timeline at first. I vividly remember texting a friend and telling her I hoped the antagonist introduced in the first part of the book wasn't the true antagonist. The book remained slow until roughly 2/3 of the way through - and boy did this book pick up. The jumping timeline made more sense, and the character development was top-notch. I loved the inclusion of native american culture and spirituality. I ended up assuming the true antagonist through character development but I didn't foresee the entire ending. Additionally, there's a note from the author speaking to the struggles of the reservations and where the inspiration for this book came from. Highly recommend. 4/5 stars simply due to how long it took to get into this book.
