About this listen
Bram Stoker Awards - Finalist, 2019
Ann Dávila Cardinal's Five Midnights is a “wickedly thrilling” (William Alexander) audiobook based on the el Cuco myth set against the backdrop of modern-day Puerto Rico.
Five friends cursed. Five deadly fates. Five nights of retribución.
If Lupe Dávila and Javier Utierre can survive each other’s company, together they can solve a series of grisly murders sweeping though Puerto Rico. But the clues lead them out of the real world and into the realm of myths and legends. And if they want to catch the killer, they'll have to step into the shadows to see what's lurking there - murderer or monster?
“A frightening, fast-paced thriller.” (Julianna Baggott, Alex Award-winning author of Pure)

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
The tiny island of Vieques, located just off the northeastern coast of the main island of Puerto Rico, is trying to recover after hurricane Maria, but the already battered island is now half empty. To make matters worse, as on the main island, developers have come in to buy up the land at a fraction of its worth, taking advantage of the island when it is down. Lupe, Javier, and Marisol are back to investigate a series of murders that follow in the wake of a hurricane and in the shadow of a new supernatural threat.

Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Critic reviews
"Almarie Guerra is wonderfully cast to narrate Cardinal's fabulously creepy murder mystery...Guerra's well-paced performance, including her perfect Spanish pronunciation, will keep listeners engaged with the suspenseful narrative, which is equal parts crime investigation, macabre ghost story, and slow-burn romance. For thrills and chills in a tropical setting, this is the ideal pick." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner

Good story
i really liked the whole story the characters, realistically, just everything but the ending. the whole storyline in the beginning is what got me hooked but at the end it seemed like a completely different story genre. I still like it though and think it was worth reading.

Good book not horror
This book was good but it was not a horror book. If I had to throw it in a group it would be for teenagers. If you read the book I'm sure I'll pick up on all the points from all the books you read as a kid.

This book is so well written. It’s one of those that makes you sad when you are finished.
I keep thinking about it even though I finished it weeks ago.
