This is my first read by this author, but will definitely not be my last.
Each character is so well developed. Deeply flawed in ways that make them so relatable.
The detailed descriptions of the locations and creatures read like a movie in my head. Though I am now deeply terrified of pretty much anything that comes from the ocean.
What really hit me are the underlying themes of abuse, grief, and family. How each character must find their own way through these particular obstacles of life that in some way or another we all must face.
Bravo!!
