Sheine Lende sees infamous Elatsoe ancestor Shane, working with her mother and their ghost dogs to track down missing persons in their town. When Shane's mother goes missing, a new cast of characters must traverse the thin barriers between worlds to retrieve both her mother and friend's brother.

Thumbs up: An imaginative world filled with heart, magic, and very real tales of oppression that weave this multilayered story together. Fans of Elatsoe will be delighted for another opportunity to re-enter the world from another era.

Thumbs down: I think this novel is quite dialogue heavy (e.g. a lot of "he said" and then "she said" and then "she said") and could have spent more time within the world building of the novel. The draw for me in picking this up was the fantastic elements of the novel. Unfortunately, it didn't feel that enough time was spent building up the reader's imagination. For example, there are ghosts, time/space travel, and Fae mentioned but it seems like such an afterthought to the plot. I would have loved to see more effort spent on the fantasy aspects then the extremely heavy dialogue.

Was it a nail biter? It was a good book and I hope to see more from the author in the future! 3/5.
