About this listen
AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER
To find a missing young woman, the new tribal marshal must also find herself.
At rock bottom following her daughter’s death, ex-Chicago detective Carrie Starr has nowhere to go but back to her roots. Starr’s father never talked much about the reservation where he was raised, but the tribe needs a new marshal as much as Starr needs a place to call home.
In the past decade, too many young women have disappeared from the rez. Some have ended up dead, others just…gone. Now local college student Chenoa Cloud is missing, and Starr falls into an investigation that leaves her drowning in memories of her daughter—the girl she failed to save.
Starr feels lost in this place she thought would welcome her. And when she catches a glimpse of a figure from her father’s stories, with the body of a woman and the antlers of a deer, Starr can’t shake the feeling that the fearsome spirit is watching her, following her.
What she doesn’t know is whether Deer Woman is here to guide her or to seek vengeance for the lost daughters that Starr can never bring home.

For centuries, vampires freely roamed the land until the Grays came out of nowhere, wiping out half the population in a night. The survivors fled to the last vampire city of First Light, where the rules are simple. If you’re poor, you drink weak blood. If you’re nobility, you get the good stuff. And you can never, ever leave. Palace maid Sam has had enough of these rules, and she’s definitely had enough of cleaning the bedpans of the lords who enforce them. When the son of the city’s ruler is murdered, she seizes the chance to blackmail her way into a better class and better blood.

On the surface, Alice is exactly where she thinks she should be: She’s just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Dawn; her charming husband, Steve—a white academic whose area of study is conveniently her own Mohawk culture—is nothing but supportive; and they’ve moved into a new home in a posh Toronto neighborhood. But Alice could not feel like more of an impostor. She isn’t connecting with her daughter, a struggle made even more difficult by the recent loss of her own mother, and every waking moment is spent hiding her despair from Steve and their ever-watchful neighbors.

Well done!
But I’m from Oklahoma and I wish the author and the voice talent had done some
Basic research about how to pronounce Tahlequah and that the “Tahlequah” Nation was actually the Cherokee Nation not separate nations. Still would recommend as a great listen.
Well developed characters and interesting storyline

Strong women are not macho men...
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The concept of finding where we belong is something a lot of people can relate to, but this tale of a woman with an indigenous heritage she is aware of but did not live, told by a woman with a similar background, was very powerful. Starr is flawed but we walk alongside her as she tries to get to know the locals on the reservation she’s contracted to serve as Marshall. The story invites us to understand the parental pain of more than one character.
This is a beautifully written story, rich and descriptive in both setting the scene and the emotion of the tale. The narration is well done, and I was hanging on every word.
She ran away and began to find her place
