"An intense novel of vengeance, exploitation, and pushing the boundaries of what humans are capable of. Brutal and tense, this novel delivers a buildup of anxiety and outrage, sorrow and fear, highlighting the real-life consequences of crime, racism, and poverty. Combined with ritualistic horror, this novel is a nail-biting thriller that radiates heartbreak. Compelling and insightful. "
"I liked the blend of English and Spanish within the narrative. The story is relatable and a way to understand why decisions that can take one down a destructive path are made. #StoryWorthReading #BestSeller #Texas #TexasAuthors #Books #Reading #Dream #literature #Writings #WritingWorthReading #WrittenWorks "

"This story is full of despair and unflinching horror. The danger felt real and the characters’ fear was palpable. The ominous threat of violence made me nauseous and I’ve never experienced such foreboding terror while reading. And then Iglesias hits us with that inevitable gut punch?! What a perfect way to end it."
