This story was simply beautiful while dark and reflective.

Dantus is Half white, half indigenous, and struggles with her two parts. She is starting her freshman year of college when she witnesses a murder and then decides to be a CI in an undercover investigation on a meth ring that may have hockey connections.

This story was gripping, dark, beautiful, enlightening, and so many other adjectives. The Ojibwe words, rituals, and other cultural aspects woven throughout the entire story, was beautiful added layer. The self reflection on culture and self identity, but also moving forward through past traumas. The reflection of what does love me, and can you love someone and still dislike them? Moving forward through torturous grief, while keeping secrets from everyone around you. This story was so deep, while also thrilling!
