Book got pulled before I could even download it. I got approved yesterday and went to download it and it was gone

I read the first book “If I Stopped Haunting You” and enjoyed it very much! So I was so excited to get the ARC for this book and I have to say I enjoyed it just as much! It was a true friends to lovers sapphic romance and I just absolutely loved Isi and Louise’s love story! The two women are both bad ass archaeologists and long time best friends who are incapable of voicing how they feel about each other. The tension was truly fabulous! You root for them the entire time and when it finally happens, damn is it sexy!!! The spice was phenomenal and to see these two come together while also simultaneously trying to hunt a treasure that Isi’s Mom went missing trying to solve was so cool! Such a fun idea for a story and I devoured this!

I was looking forward to this book, but I cannot read and review it. Now that’ this book is being pulled, I want to spend time reading and sharing about books by authors who don’t lie about their ancestry.

Isi and Louise are trying to find treasure in the mountains before some treasure hunters with guns find it. From being kidnapped, to escaping, to trying to hide their feelings for each other. This book has it all. Adventure, entertainment and some 🔥🔥. I also loved that Laszlo made a brief appearance!

Choosing not to read this now with what has come out in the last week and due to this book being pulled. I want to read books by actual native authors.

I found that I liked the characters connection but the story just wasn't for me. I do love the cover.

welp. this one was pulled from publication, and with the whole thing swirling around that the author has been lying about her heritage, i'm gonna pass rn, nothing against SMP.

I refuse to review this book based on the fact that the author feels that it’s okay to lie
about Native descent. This is nothing against the publisher or the agency.

Thank you and I hope we can work together in the future.

I really liked the cover and blurb of If I Dig You and was excited to read this story. However, after certain things came to light about Colby Wilkens (for instance check out the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds and the New York Post articles), I cannot in good conscience support this author. This book was also pulled from publication per the author‘s last instagram post and it’s questionable if this book will ever release again.

I won't be reading or reviewing this book after the current issues going on with the author. Impersonating an indigenous person in order to further your career is so gross and when caught, she didn't even take accountability.

I was so excited for this book, but ultimately let down by the writing style. The characters and their emotions didn't feel believable and took me out of the story.

TAAF has recently released a report that Colby Wilkens's claims of Cherokee and Choctaw ancestry cannot be verified. Using your "ancestry" is a problem when 1) it hasn't been proved, 2) appropriated/used as a core part of that person's identity, and 3) used for marketing and profit.

Find a real Native American author to read and support!

i'm not going to read a book by someone who pretends to be native american -- DNFed and deleted from my kindle, sorry!

Since this book has been pulled from publication, I'm not planning to continue reading it, making it a DNF. It's a bummer, since as an archaeologist, I was excited to see more archaeology-themed stories out in the world, and I thought this would be a really great one when it came to reclaiming cultural heritage.

Though I appreciate being given an ARC to review, I will no longer be doing so in light of the recent allegations regarding the author and the announcement that the book is being pulled from publication.

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.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!!

What a good book! I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I loved the main characters! They had great chemistry and worked so well together. I loved how the book just flowed. My first by this author but will not be my last!!!

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