Right out of the gate I want to say that this is one of the best horror novels of the year and you definitely need to read it.

This is set in Puerto Rico with all it's beauty and ugliness on display. It's a story of revenge with the added terrors of eldritch creatures from the ocean.

A group of friends, more like brothers, come together to kill those responsible for the drive by shooting death of one of their mothers. They are in way over their heads when they discover who ordered the hit and they might not survive very long.

There's also a category five hurricane which will devaste the country at the time they plan their revenge. Within that storm, something lurks. Hungry things from the waters which will unsettle and disturb you.

Violent, bloody, and beautiful, this novel explores friendship, betrayal, and local legends.

While this is an often overused cliché, it's true: Puerto Rico is like another character in this book. The way the author describes the country and it's issues stay with you as the narrative unfolds. It's always there playing it's part in the story and you'll sense it's presence on every page.

I seriously couldn't put this book down. I stayed up until three o'clock in the morning (my time) because it's that damn good. I would have gladly stayed longer in this world and this just shows why Gabino Iglesias is a powerhouse in horror.

Yes, I highly HIGHLY recommend it.
