We Don't Swim Here by Vincent Tirado

4.0

SpoilerAt first I was a little spooked because everybody in the town was being weird & it made me feel uncomfortable for a hot second. Then once I started to understand what was really going on, I felt more comfortable reading on. I do like the element of possession. Especially with POCs as the main characters. I wish we could’ve learned more about the mysterious bus. I think it would have been cool to have two spooky stories going on at once. R.I.P to those of the bus crash but I think having that element in the story & not bringing it back up was a let down. Will there be a second book to discuss the mysterious bus? It did add another spooky element to the weird town so I was scared at the beginning. Overall, it was a great mystery. It adds to the diversity that POC authors give when it comes to thrillers or mystery books. Nothing was bland about it. I love how it touched on family dynamics & how we have to make sacrifices for the ones we love. The bonds we choose to create and/or maintain with family. We also see how people cope with the loss of loved ones. Really good book overall.
