Perry Firekeeper-Birch has always known who she is - the laidback twin, the troublemaker, the best fisher on Sugar Island. Her aspirations won't ever take her far from home, and she wouldn't have it any other way. But as the rising number of missing Indigenous women starts circling closer to home, as her family becomes embroiled in a high-profile murder investigation, and as greedy grave robbers seek to profit off of what belongs to her Anishinaabe tribe, Perry begins to question everything.
In order to reclaim this inheritance for her people, Perry has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She can only count on her friends and allies, including her overachieving twin and a charming new boy in town with unwavering morals. Old rivalries, sister secrets, and botched heists cannot - will not - stop her from uncovering the mystery before the ancestors and missing women are lost forever.
Sometimes, the truth shouldn't stay buried.
My Review:
Reading this book was so brilliant. I really enjoyed her first book and I was looking forward to this one. We did meet Perry then, but she's now a teenager, and the focus on her, and I was excited to see where her story would take her!
It was burning on low, besides a few high points throughout the book, but the fact that human remains were treated like that, that's just awful! It'd be fighting fire with fire, but if the remains of their family members were dug up and treated like that to counter all that, would be just be a bit satisfying.
Oh, anxiety I felt, about the heist. Morally, it was the right thing to do, but legally, it was not. So the thought of something going wrong I need really worried, and it was very close to pushing one of my buttons. I managed to push through it, and the audiobook definitely helped, to keep the story going, I couldn't put the book down just because I had keep reading.
I feel like the ending of this was a bit more positive then The Firekeeper's Daughter. More satisfying then bittersweet. There was a bit of justice, and while it wasn't perfect, what with Warrior Girl, I think mainly things were just a little bit better than when the story started.
This book, and I would love to read more Angeline Boulley!
