Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden 
Virgil lives on the res and with his nephew, Nathan. Buck wants him to locate the man who's selling heroin.
Before he knows it Nathan has overdosed on heroin. He's able to get him back but he still wants to find the culprit.
Like hearing of the customs and traditions that are still done. 
Reminds me of Longmire, a tv series that we watched. Very close relations to this story as the laws for Indians are ruled by the Res cops.
Nathan is being framed and only way out is to wear the wire and make a drug deal.  Marie who is Buck's father has moved in with Virgil as they work together to find the culprit drug dealer.
Love what the title really means, we had done something similar with our advent calendar, but the one they talk about is so much more memorable.
Lots of action, travel,  drugs, cartels, betrayal and moving on. Love to learn that the author has written other books, can't wait to read those also.
I received this review book from The Kensington Books and this is my honest opinion.









The Champlain Monster by Jeff Danziger
Good story about a couple of girls who live and fish from the Champlain Lake. Have visited in the area many times and it's a large size lake.
One winter as it's just about thawing and turning into spring they notice some things and plan to investigate.
One night when their parents are not home they venture out and notice a calm spot where they put their shanty in the cold winter months to fish from the hole.
They start seeing bubbles and then the smell is like garbage bag of bad food when the thing erupts from the lake.
Scary after that and one goes missing but an elderly man has some clues to follow....
