| book description |

From the Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker Award-winning author ofÂ The Devil Takes You Home, a group of five teenage boys in Puerto Rico seek vengeance after one of their mothers is murdered. Set during a vicious hurricane, a Latinx Stand By Me with a haunted, dark heart. For childhood friends Gabe, Xavier, Tavo, Paul, and Bimbo, death has always been close. Hurricanes. Car accidents. Gang violence. Suicide.Â Estamos rodeados de fantasmasÂ was Gabeâ€™s grandmotherâ€™s refrain. We are surrounded by ghosts. But this time is different. Bimbo's mom has been shot dead.Â Weâ€™re gonna kill the guys who killed herÂ Bimbo swears. And they all agree. Feral with grief, Bimbo has become unrecognizable, taking no prisoners in his search for names. As the boys strategize, a storm gathers far from the Puerto Rican coast. Hurricanes are known to carry evil spirits in their currents and bring them ashore, spirits which impose their own order. From the Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker AwardÂ®-winning author, this is a harrowing coming-of-age story; a doomed tale of devotion, the afterlife of violence, and what rolls in on the tide.
