Erika T. Wurth's 'The White Horse' is a captivating journey that earns a solid 4.5 stars out of 5 from this book enthusiast. The characters feel like friends you've known forever, and Wurth's vivid descriptions paint pictures in your mind that linger long after you put the book down. As a big fan of Stephen King, I was delighted by the clever nods to his works sprinkled throughout the story, adding an extra layer of enjoyment for those who appreciate King's tales of suspense and horror.

Beyond the thrilling narrative and rich characters, 'The White Horse' tackles important real-world issues, shedding light on the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women across the Americas. Wurth skillfully weaves these crucial themes into the fabric of the story, prompting readers to reflect on the broader challenges faced by indigenous communities. This thoughtful exploration adds depth and significance to an already compelling tale.

In conclusion, 'The White Horse' is a must-read for those who crave a well-crafted story with characters that feel like old friends. The visuals are striking, and the inclusion of relevant societal issues elevates the novel to a higher level of impact. With a nod to Stephen King and a keen eye on important contemporary challenges, Erika T. Wurth delivers a book that lingers in your thoughts, leaving a lasting impression.

This is not horror, but if you go into it anticipating a gritty mystery based on family secrets you'll enjoy it a lot. There is a little paranormal/visions stuff going on here, but nothing spooky. I enjoyed the protagonist, she's a spunky, fierce, loyal, tho traumatized, Native American woman. She does a lot of grieving and healing over the course of discovering who killed her mother.

There's a ton to love here. White Horse is a blend of horror and murder mystery, anchored by Kari's search to figure out what happened to her deceased mother. And come on -- heavy metal? Stephen King? I was hooked from the cover flap, let alone the opening pages.

I do think there is something to be said for how much White Horse crams into its story. There are a lot of subplots, some of which I didn't find to be entirely successful. But I was really drawn in by Wurth's prose, which is as terse and unforgiving (or perhaps blunt is the better term) as Kari's personality.

If you like spooky mixed with mystery, then you'll want to pick this up.
