So just the beginning should have told me to set the book down and back away slowly before I considered writing a horrible review on it. The story started off kind of weird with Ren and Calla reminiscing about the past in their "house" even though they're like 16 and that shit's illegal unless you've been emancipated, otherwise you're in foster care.

Niska continues to walk through the town and says “I must look like a thin and wild old woman to them, an Indian animal straight out of the bush”.
