I am really irritated that I read this book. I'd heard about it somewhere (whoever recommended it to me, you're on my shit-list) and when I was looking for books to read for Book Riot's Read Harder 2019 challenge, I decided to do this one for Challenge #9: "A book published prior to Jan. 1, 2019 with fewer than 100 reviews on Goodreads."

When I looked at the reviews on January 2, the book only had 82 reviews, so I got it from inter-library loan and read it last weekend. And *now* I see that there are over 160 reviews and I totally wasted hours reading this dumb-dumb book. So irritated.

The plot is overly complicated and unbelievable, the characters are even less believable than the plot, the dialogue frequently turns into exposition avalanche, and the writing is bad. Just really bad.

Potenza changes the nickname of one of the main characters from "Frank" to "Franco" two-thirds through the book. Why? Who the fu*k knows.

I don't get why people are giving this four and five stars. Is it because it takes place on a Native American reservation and that means it has to be good? How did Potenza win the Tony Hillerman prize? Was hers the only book out of New Mexico last year? I don't get it. You shouldn't either. Don't read this book.
