Island Mother is the story of Leigh Ramos lives with Jesse, a trailer park meth king in a small area of Kentucky. He sends her to deliver meth to some clients with an empty gun for “protection.” Things go bad and she manages to escape, taking the meth, a small bag of money, and the van. Luckily, the bag held five thousand, so she pays for the farthest she can go by plane without going to a foreign country and ends up in Hawaii.
A page-turning horror novel where the heroine thought all she had to worry about was a drug-dealing boyfriend, but she finds that paradise wears a mask where nothing is what it seems, but hides terrifying gods and monsters that are frighteningly real, especially when they demand sacrifices to keep paradise beautiful and tourist-friendly.
I gave Island Mother 5 sheep.
