4.5

a solid 4.5 star read! i really enjoyed practically everything about this book, except from: 1) the fact that it took me around the first 20% of it to actually understand what was going on and wanting to know more and 2) the parts where basketball became so emphasized (i get it's a narrative device, but still). apart from these, i liked pretty much everything: dynamic writing style, funny scenes for some comic relief, very graphic gore for the spooky vibes, and an animal-ish entity seeking revenge after being killed? sign me the hell up! and i also liked how the author introduces notions like native american tradition and urban indians (e.g. "growing up traditional", knowing how to perform certain ceremonies such as a sweat, etc.) and i loved the ending as well! PLEASE check trigger warnings before reading this, though <3

THis book was a new type of horror for me that I hadn't read before. The perspective shifts don't seem out of the ordinary until the "you" phrases come out with second person. I don't think I have read something like that before, but it gave a watched/watching feeling to the whole novel.  The story was great, the descriptions and general writing style I loved, I could truly see the movie playing out before me. I'd recommend to any fans of horror.

There is so much murder, but also an exploration of many things. Things like revenge, what it means to honour yourself and you culture, can things ever be made right, and more. 

At times it was hard to track what was happening. The author would suddenly have the characters think back to past events with little or no transitions. It does remind me of how some Elders tell stories by telling around the story.

Even with the at times disjointed way of telling the story the ending is just perfect.
