Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine discussion

I’d like to introduce you to Reservations, the first book in the Samantha Wright Crime Series by Theresa Janson. This gripping psychological thriller offers a unique blend of suspense, cultural depth, and emotional complexity that makes it a perfect choice for our book club.

The story follows Special Agent Samantha Wright, a gifted criminal profiler tasked with solving a chilling and complex serial killer case targeting young Native American boys across multiple states. What sets this novel apart is not only the high-stakes investigation but also the rich exploration of Native American culture and the challenges that arise from jurisdictional and cultural tensions on reservations.

Theresa Janson masterfully weaves psychological suspense with a poignant look at cultural trauma, making this more than just a crime thriller it’s a story that provokes thought and empathy. Sam’s sharp instincts and dark humor add layers of depth and personality, while the dynamic between her, her boss, and a skilled Cheyenne tracker adds compelling human drama and even romance.

Readers have praised Reservations for its fast pace, emotional resonance, and well-rounded characters. It’s an intense, emotional ride that will spark meaningful discussions about justice, cultural identity, and resilience.

I believe this book will engage everyone in the club, from thriller lovers to those who appreciate cultural narratives and character-driven stories. It’s a powerful read that will both entertain and challenge us.
