This book will haunt you long after you finish it.
Daunis was raised between two worlds - that of her wealthy white grandparents who have buildings named after them and her Native relatives on her father’s side. She’s learned to navigate both worlds, honoring her Native traditions and helping her mother care for her sick grandmother. She even starts to fall for her brother’s mysterious hockey teammate, Jamie, who came out of nowhere. But when someone she cares about deeply is murdered, she questions everything and everyone she thought she knew. Someone is trafficking meth, and it threatens to tear apart the community she loves.
This book deals with prejudice in a powerful way. As someone who’s got a foot in both worlds, Daunis is sheltered from some of it, until violent acts of betrayal drive home what it truly means to be a tribal member.
I also loved Daunis! She’s a confident, fearless girl who played hockey on a boy’s team. She’s a vulnerable grieving friend. And she’s super smart and not afraid to carve out her own path.
This thriller will keep you turning pages to find out who’s behind the influx of meth and what will happen to the main characters as the threat closes in.
