TLDR: read this!!

This was very beautiful to read, its about a Mètis woman whose husband goes missing a year ago and turns up as a famous christian Reverand and no memory of his wife, and she suspects the ‘rogarou’ a sk!nwalker type creature has something to do with it and she teams up w her nephew to get him back.

The ‘romance’ and the family dynamics were so realistic and lovely as well as complicated i thought it was so well written. I put romance in quotes bc its not like sappy hallmark romance but DEEP LOVE FOR HER HUSBAND who she is also pissed at and she like goes into combat mode to get him back even tho they have a complicated history and its dope. 

I took a star off bc i felt the ending to be a tad predictable.
