I devoured this book. Daunis Fontaine is a biracial unenrolled tribal member and she feels like she only partially fits into her white and indigenous communities. When her world is rocked by witnessing a horrific murder, she is thrust into a criminal investigation that makes her begin to question everything. As she begins to put the puzzle pieces together, she has to make some decisions that could affect her and her community forever.
Daunis is a nuanced character and as you dive into her story you get to see her layers unfold. Because Daunis is grappling with establishing her worldview, you too get to expand yours by learning more about the Ojibwe culture. This book has themes of community, respect, friendship, family, romance, coming of age, and justice. It will take you on a journey you won't want to leave.
If you like Veronica Mars or the CW Nancy Drew show, pick up this title.
