This is not a book I would have picked up for myself. I ended up agreeing to buddy read it with a group and I am glad I did even if this title wasn't quite for me. The Only Good Indians is an ominous horror novel that deals with the topics of revenge and identity. The story outlines the experiences of four Native American boys who have a shared incident while hunting. This event is haunting (literally) and ends up impacting their lives as adults. Unfortunately, this book was just way too graphic for me to enjoy. There is some very explicit violence against both humans and animals that was really difficult to get through. If you are a reader who can stomach this type of writing, you will probably not be bothered by this aspect. While I did finish this story, I was left with bad feelings because of the amount of bloodshed present in this novel.
