After an exciting opening chapter from the climax, this book flashes back, a technique I don’t like. In this case, it was worse since the book took longer than it should have to set up the main mystery. Once it did, I was hooked on the story. The ending was a bit rushed, but that was a minor complaint. I loved the characters and the character moments felt like they grew out of what we learned about them in the first book. Plus, we met some new characters I hope pop up again. Despite the slow start, I enjoyed this book overall.

Jory and her friends are a company called the Badlands Paranormal Society. She receives a frantic call from a woman about her missing husband and there is a mention of Bigfoot! Jory takes on the job to go searching for both the husband and to see if Bigfoot is responsible for the peculiar goings-on on the property involved. Will the Badlands paranormal society teamed with Jory's grandfather be able to discover the source of the mysterious happenings or is it just a wild goose chase?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book I didn't realise it was part of a series and I will be reading the other stories involved.
It's a very insightful plot with a lot of interesting things that the Ojibwe follow and believe in. I don't want to say too much and give away the story as it is much more fun to go on the journey first-hand.
Christy is very captivating with his writing and leaves you wanting more, I wasn't ready for the book to finish I turned the page over and was disappointed that there was no more to read!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
A recommendation from me.

The book took a bit of time to fully set up graffiti culture. I was glad to see the fact that it is a crime was eventually brought up, even if in passing. I was impressed with how the characters followed a logical set of clues, and there were some good twists along the way. Unfortunately, the climax was a bit rushed, including a plot point left dangling. On the other hand, I continue to love the characters. Their friendship is great to watch, and I love the fact that the adults are responsible as well. Overall, I enjoyed it, and I’m sure the target audience will as well.
