emily_alwubayran shared a tip "An atmospheric and chilling tale of vengeance. This was a refreshing horror read, filled with native cultural references and a sharp, confident voice that keeps you furiously turning pages. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more of Stephen Graham Jones."

jaded_blade shared a tip "This is the first horror book I've read in a long time, and I absolutely loved it. It isn't needlessly gorey and horrible, the tension is well built and executed."

Poochamoo shared a tip "If you have a young adult wanting to adventure into adult horror books, this is a great point to start. Chapters are divided into multiple perspectives, and it has a deliciously creepy feel."

kit_m_6495 shared a tip "Oh man, it wasn’t necessarily a *favorite* but the creepiness factor of how the second victim was killed really affected me. I just had so much dread while reading the book. And I felt so conflicted about whether these characters “deserved” their punishments, especially in respect to the non-natives in the book, and then maybe it was a matter of believing made it real? In any case, I wrote to Stephen Jones and told him he broke me, LOL."

stefanie_sawyer shared a tip "Never mind the literary snobbery in some of the Amazon reviews. This book is a wild ride from start to finish. A stay up way too late for just one more (4 more) chapter read."

soph3 shared a tip "Truly one of the most thrilling and traumatizing books i have ever set my hands on. It has the potential to both start a fire and take it out."

stories_from_the_ba shared a tip "This book had a suspenseful story of revenge and regret but it also had an interesting cultural aspect. I enjoy books written by minorities about their cultures and I enjoyed seeing the author’s perception of his culture. The Native American lore in the book also made the story seem different from some other horror/thrillers I’ve read."

zach_howie shared a tip "Really loved this book. Very vivid and emotional. Also love the aboriginal folklore aspect of it. Our ancestors folklore are really the original "horror" stories so its great to see it passed along."

sariexyz shared a tip "I was very disappointed. Seeing as this has been recommended by so many bookclubs, I went in with big expectations only to be disappointed as I so often am by horror novels. It is the same premise I've heard a dozen times, revenge in the form of the paranormal / native customs."
