Customer Reviews

This is such a good story. It was suggested to me by an internet stranger, and it is a rollercoaster

I am not sure how to describe it without getting into details and spoilers. The first 2 or 3 chapters you are going to be like "What is going on?" Stick it out! Another book that has similar vibes is Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice.
