Thank you Heartdrum and NetGalley for the eARC of Looking for Smoke! All opinions in this review are my own.

For me, I find that it is truly difficult to write a five star thriller, but K. A. Cobell did it on her debut. In this Own Voices novel, Looking for Smoke details the story of the classmates left behind after two of their own go missing and their determination to find answers. Cobell brings the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement to the forefront, and shows the pain of the families and friends left behind. As a member of the Blackfeet Nation herself, Cobell is able to write characters the readers care about it, which I don't often find as the case in thrillers. I couldn't put this book down!

Looking for Smoke is a fantastic debut and I can't wait to see what else Cobell is capable of!
