5.0

THIS. BOOK. IS. AMAZING. I had to shout that out right at the top because shouting is the only way to accurately portray how much I freaking LOVED this book. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before, the perfect blend of YA and thriller and I was glued to my seat from the very first page, quite literally. Seriously, I was so damn riveted by what I was reading. It’s just so dark and thrilling and I haven’t enjoyed the hell out of a book like this in a damn long time. I literally sat with my jaw dropped to my chest for the last like, 100 pages. I haven’t been LEGIT shocked by a thriller like this in a long time, I can normally predict the ending and various twists from a mile away but this one absolutely floored me and shocked the hell out of me time after time. Now add to all that the fact that it’s written by an Own Voices author and allowed me to learn more about the beautiful and stunning Ojibwe culture and I’m just beyond in love with this story. It’s my first time reading anything about Ojibwe culture and I’m not in any way satisfied, I DESPERATELY need more books like this in my life! It’s just so rich and beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time and I’m quite breathless after finishing this book.
