About this audiobook
Vieques: a small island just off the northeastern coast of the main island of Puerto Rico.
A place struggling to recover after Hurricane Maria, where developers smell desperation and see opportunity.
A paradise turned hunting ground for something angry that the storm revived.
Lupe, Javier, and Marisol are back to investigate a series of murders that follow in the wake of destruction and in the shadow of a mysterious new threat.
Category Five is a supernatural thriller set against the backdrop of a post-hurricane Puerto Rico, about the families we choose and the monsters we never see coming.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting premise, but there were logical holes in the plot, coupled with a need for better copy editing that made me drop this to a three star rating. Here are two examples. You have a female protagonist who has spent some amount of time working with her uncle who is an experienced policeman. When she finds a heart in her backpack, instead of alerting him so he could check for fingerprints, she ditches it. Then there's the incident at the grand opening where he sends her to retrieve his backup radio from his vehicle. There's another heart in it. What policeman doesn't lock his vehicle, particularly in a place where there is a big crowd. I did find the ghosts and the history behind what drove them to be quite fascinating.
