This was an amazing mystery. I like how focused this story was on “mystery“ and not graphic violence and gory scenes.

The story was not predictable, at least it kept surprising me, especially the last bit of chapter twenty and the last few chapters. Oh, that ending was spectacular! 👇

I read a lot of mystery/crime fiction and it can start to feel exploitative, especially when the victims are BIPOC and the authors are white. Lillie is a Cherokee citizen, as is the main character here. This is a well written mystery centered around missing and murdered Indigenous women in a small Oklahoma town. There‘s more to it, of course, but no spoilers here. I‘m definitely interested in reading more of Lillie‘s work.

I didn't plan on reading this...I collect American Indigenous (and Canadian Aboriginal) books and authors (fictional and nonfiction), yet I don't always have the courage to read them.

It is difficult for me to explain. I best try now that I've mentioned this...

I've become squeamish over the years when it comes to graphic scenes and certain sensitive subjects. I prefer quick facts, not detailed.

With Native books, these feelings intensify. 👇

It‘s been a struggle to stick with anything this past week. Nothing is holding my interest so I‘m just not reading much. I‘m hoping to change that by bailing on my #bookspin, since it‘s getting all “hidden/forbidden relationship” angsty and I wanted to supernatural, isolated setting, high body count, not angst, so I‘m mad at it. 😂 Fingers crossed that the tagged book grabs my attention and doesn‘t let go.
