Filled with mystery and myth, this is a thrilling tale of how one girl’s determination to find her sister leads to uncovering the nightmares hidden within their community. I enjoyed the choice the author made to jump back and forth in time as the story unfolds. It allows the reader to see the story from both Day 1 with how it all began, and then also from the day of Grace’s disappearance and the start of the investigation. 

Though there are aspects of fantasy, there is no doubt that this novel is rooted in real life horrors. For years there has been an epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women, and the efforts to find them are often underfunded and hampered by overlap in legal jurisdictions. The story of Anna and Grace is one of strength and determination, and I’m so very glad I picked it up.
