Lewis, Gabriel, Ricky and Cassidy were the best of friends growing up, often running off to hunt. One day the boys decided to hunt on land they were not supposed to hunt on; the land is meant for the elders of the tribe. After ambushing and massacring a group of elk, the boys discover one elk was pregnant, and that there are consequences to hunting on restricted land.
Fast forward and the boys are all adults, living their individual lives. When they start seeing an elk in unusual places and under unusual circumstances, they soon discover that their actions, and the consequences, have lasting, horrible affects.
The Only Good Indians grabbed me from the prologue and refused to give up its hold until the last page. It almost seems like there are three stories that make up the novel, interconnected with each other. It almost reminded me of a Shakespearean tragedy; say anymore and I may spoil the story. The characters, in many ways, are very realistic, even if the events weren’t. The writing is solid and the descriptions are strong, especially the ending. The Only Good Indians is a novel filled with twisted goodness!
Go find a copy of The Only Good Indians April 7th, but be sure you have plenty of time to read as you won’t want to put this one down. And be sure to feel the cover!!!!
