As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed Menink's writing in this intense thriller. Not only are there bad guys running around on the island, trying to hurt the good guys, but the hurricane is determined to destroy everything in its path, and it's a gamble every time whether it's the hurricane or the bad guys who will get in the next blow against the good guys. The romance between Reuben and Antonia rather takes a side show to the main one, which is fine by me—I like mystery more than romance. Even so, their attraction is realistically written.
