After learning of the author's fraudulent actions, I am rescinding my review and will not be supporting the author or their work in any way.

I loathed this authors first book, and now knowing that she was falsely claiming to be native, I won’t be bothering to read this. Glad it’s being pulled.

Unfortunately, due to the recent discovery of this author claiming Native heritage, which has been shown as false, and the recent screenshots from Discord along with other authors coming out with stories about how she tears down BIPOC authors, I will no longer be reading or reviewing this book.

Thankful for the early copy but I won't be reading or providing feedback for this book due to the author's actions.

This was a cute friends-to-lovers sapphic romance and the plot had a lot of potential. I liked the setting and the fact that both FMCs are archeologists. The adventure aspect was so fun and I loved the beginning. The book did get slower and there was misrepresentation of the indigenous sayings and aspects that could have made this book a very good read.

I will no longer be reading this book due to the author lying about being Native American and co-opting their culture, identity, and heritage.

Can't do this any more, DNF at 20%. Huge infodumps about Native American history, the gap between the two MCs is because nobody has said anything for 14 years, surprise bad guys, treasure hunt, and why hasn't Isa found one hot woman at the university in all that time?

Will not be reading this book allegations that have come out about the author. I will not be reviewing or supporting work put out by someone who lied and co-opted an identity that was not hers. Especially when multiple people now have come forward and told us how much of a bully she was to POC authors that she saw as “competition”.

In light of the allegations around the author’s native identity and their statement that it is being pulled from publication, I will not be reviewing this title.

I thought this book sounded great hence requesting but I can't support a white author who is impersonating Native Americans and claiming to be a part of two tribes when she has nothing to do with either.

This book has been pulled from publication and as such I will not be reviewing it and will instead seek out books by Indigenous authors.

In light of the Tribal Alliance Against Fraud's statement on Colby Wilkens, her own response, and the announcement that this book will be pulled from publication, this is the only feedback I can morally and ethically give.

Due to the issues surrounding the author misrepresenting her (lack of) Native identity, and considering this book is being pulled from publication, I will not be reviewing or sharing this book.
