The mix of Native lore with an alternate United States where magic and the supernatural are even part of the court systems and law enforcement was intriguing for me. Main character was very relatable as a teenager, and her friendship with her friend Jay was heartwarming. Descriptions of the supernatural scenes were great, and the more scary ones were bordering on horrific and scary.
Her entire interaction with the spirit of vengence was very unnerving- I loved it!
Kirby is the best ghost-boy. I loved so many things about this story, but Kirby is probably my favorite.
