Before getting into this review, here's a little blurb about the book from Goodreads:
--
Eighteen-year-old Daunis’s mixed heritage has always made her feel like an outsider, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When she witnesses a shocking murder, she reluctantly agrees to be part of a covert FBI operation into a series of drug-related deaths.
But the deceptions – and deaths – keep piling up and soon the threat strikes too close to home. Now Daunis must decide what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go to protect her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.
---
I thought this book was great. I loved learning and figuring out more about Native American culture. I didn't know much going in and I feel like I have more knowledge after reading this book. I also loved the mystery in this book, and trying to figure what would happen. I really do recommend this book to people and think you can learn a lot from it!
