CAMINO GHOSTS

CAMINO GHOSTS by John Grisham

Dark Isle is an island located off the coast of Florida that has been uninhabited since 1955. For years it sat desolate and untouched until now. Tidal Breeze Corporation, a developer company that stops at nothing to get what they want, has turned their eyes on the deserted island deeming it the perfect location for their next casino. The only problem? An elderly woman named Lovely Jackson who claims that she is the sole owner of the island. She didn't come by this island by purchasing it. She claims to be the last survivor of a colony of escaped slaves that settled there over 300 years ago. There's no paperwork that can verify this claim. There's not even a birth certificate. However, she does know the dark secrets about the island's history, and they're all about to come to light.

This book is a very interesting read. However, there are some things to be aware of.

HEADS UP- There is a small amount of profanity. Without going into too much detail the island does have a voodoo curse surrounding it, and the book deals with the curse several times. We are following the stories of slaves and slave catchers so there is violence and death. The slave women are raped at a couple of different points. There is no graphic detail to this. You just know that it happens. There is also mention of a gay couple with no detail on their relationship.
