I'm going to start by saying I was pleasantly surprised to see the setting of this book is in Rhode Island, my home state. It's always a treat when RI is mentioned, being the smallest state we tend to be forgotten. I've also been to Block Island a bunch of times so it was easier to envision the setting of the story as well as events.

There are 5 main characters and the reader follows each through a different narrative/perspective. Characters in this novel are diverse and morbid. My favorite is Chrissy, and Angela. There is a ton of family drama and tension, so if you're into that, pick up this book asap.

My only small complaint would be the family bickering even during times of survival. It seems odd to me that characters would pick fights with each other during crucial moments.

This is my first time reading a book by this author and I like his writing. I'm definitely interested in reading more by him. The horror elements were spot on and the scene in the beginning of the book really set the tone for the entire novel. Creepy, disturbing and straight out of your nightmares.

It's refreshing to read a creature feature that isn't too cheesy and over the top. Much like the creatures in this story, I devoured this book.
