If you haven't read this book, you should go out and do so now. This follows Daunis Fontaine. She is a biracial, unenrolled tribal member who has never quite fit in anywhere she goes. She has a complicated family history. Daunis meets Jamie, who is a new senior on the town hockey team. Daunis falls for him, but notices something is not quite right with him. Then, she witnesses a murder and is placed into the middle of a criminal investigation.

First and foremost, Daunis is a very powerful and strong woman. Often, women are not depicted as this in stories. Second, the way the story described addiction is so realistic. The love story was also so compelling. Overall, you didn't know where the story was going. When it finally got to the end, there were some shocking revelations. There was never a dull moment in the story.

This is a beautiful, powerful novel that I think everyone should read. Trigger warning for drug addiction.
