review 1: I don't want to give it away but there is a very disturbing few pages that really caught me by surprise. The setting was unusual, wouldn't have figured it taking place in that part of the country. I enjoyed the book.

I also enjoyed the incorporation of Indian legends into the story and plan on reading Hautala's UNTCIGAHUNK next. less
