"Wow. This book was a great read on so many levels. You have this murder-mystery-like story that has dark and ominous undertones that still manages to tackle real world issues with candor. The writing is amazing. Nick Medina hooks you in with a shocking opening and then makes art of the storytelling in a dual timeline, dual narrator style. This is not a fast-paced thriller, it is a character driven look at the short period of life when a boy becomes a “man”. The "meat" of the story centers on life and death on the Takoda reservation. Louie returns home to the reservation for the annual Powwow to quickly find out that there is a death on the reservation. This tragic loss takes Louie back to his adolescence, when a string of deaths and unexplained occurrences troubled the tribe, and when he still believed in the Takoda vampire. In both timelines Louie is trying to get to the bottom of why bad things have happened and who (or what) is responsible. Interjected into the timelines we learn what life is like for the people in the reservation and a little of the Takoda legends. The dark aspects of the book play out in a manner that even people who don’t like “horror” can still enjoy this book. <br/><br/>Thank you to NetGalley and the Berkley Publishing Group for an advanced copy of this book. You can head to your local library or independent bookstore to pick up a copy today."
