Thank you to Thomas Bardenwerper, Bookish First and Syracuse University Press for an ARC of Mona Passage. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews.
I found Mona Passage to be an exciting adventure based on a Coast Guard cutter Lt and a Cuban brother and sister. I liked all three of the main characters very much - especially Gabi. I loved her relationship with her brother.
I also appreciated (the Lt) Pat's flaws. This story doesn't end wrapped in a pretty bow and that's so unusual for a story. I like the ending as much as I like the story.
I learned about Coast Guard cutters, immigrants and the smugglers. I could see Mona Passage as a movie full of adventure as well as drama.
I loved the colors of the cover and the graphics - so eye-catching and suits the story very well. I could easily see Pat continuing on in additional stories. I could also see Galan and Gabi in other stories too.
