Occult mystery, not nearly as good as Diana Tregarde but not awful.

Jennifer is chosen by her grandfather to learn shaman and warrior magic. She is also a PI. An insurance fraud case turns into more when Native American artifacts and bones turn up on a site and minutes later a bulldozer explodes killing Native American workers and a white foreman. Too confuse Jennifer further, her former lover turns up to rally the Native Americans.

I should have done my research before getting into this audiobook. I'm just really uncomfortable about a lot of things after having finished this. I feel like there are some folks from whose perspectives white people, me included, just shouldn't write (regardless of the period it was originally written), and a white woman writing about the spiritual practices of an Osage/Cherokee woman while being trained as a shaman by her shaman grandfather and fighting racism against native Americans is one of those. I also found it really weird how sexual her grandfather (by blood!) was with her. The domestic abuse caused by an evil ancient Indigenous spirit taking over the villain was also troubling. This book hasn't aged well at all...

Pure smut. Bad plot, everything was repeated a billion times, the conflict was in the background, and the love scene sucked (which is one of the only reasons to read smut lol). I picked it up for 50 cents at the library, because I've heard of her and decided to check her out. Well, now I know. Back to reading good books, hopefully.
