Synopsis: In book three of the popular Jumbies series, Corinne must use her emerging supernatural powers to battle the angry god who would destroy her Caribbean island home.
When an out-of-season hurricane sweeps through Corinne’s seaside village, Corinne knows it’s not a typical storm. At first Corinne believes Mama D’Leau—the powerful and cruel jumbie who rules the ocean—has caused the hurricane. Then a second, even more ferocious storm wrecks the island, sending villagers fleeing their houses for shelter in the mountains, and Corinne discovers the storms weren’t caused by a jumbie, but by the angry god Huracan.
Now Corinne, with the help of her friends and even some of her enemies, must race against time to find out what has angered Huracan and try to fix it before her island home is destroyed forever.
Review: For me not reading the other books in this series (totally my fault, bad time management) I thought this book was incredibly well written. The book flowed well, the characters were amazing, and I love the world building. This book was amazing and I want to go back and read the first two one day.
The only thing I will say is that this book was a bit hard for me to get into but that’s more than likely because I didn’t read the first two in the series.
Verdict: Definitely check this one out!
