Givhan does a wonderful job infusing the early pages with hints and observations from each of the three perspectives ... A worthy read ... Givhan’s talents as a writer of blunt, strong sentences and remarkable poetic passages regarding the landscape and the sea more than make up for any delay ... A triumph. One of the most masterful marriages of horror, mystery, thriller and literary writing that I’ve read in some time.
Givhan’s prose fluidly unfolds in both English and Spanish ... The pairing of family trauma and terrifying folklore makes this a sure bet for fans of Jessica Johns and V. Castro.
Hard-to-put-down ... The novel deftly creates an atmosphere creeping with dread, plus unexpected twists and family drama. Givhan perfectly balances the supernatural with human themes of grief and love ... Timely.
