Peer Reviews
"Carrasquillo tackles intense themes in a nuanced way, allowing readers to decide for themselves whether to condemn or cheer for Elyse and her specific brand of vigilante justice. The atmospheric prose, multidimensional characters, and layered storytelling made 'The Manchineel' my top thriller pick for 2024."
— Allie Oleander, Author of Willing Prey
"The Manchineel will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.”
— Layna James, Author of Some Kind of Forever and Sunshine with You
“Carrasquillo’s writing is brilliant. The way she crafts her prose is addicting and her ability to write flawed, believable characters you can’t help but root for, despite their shortcomings is unmatched. She draws you into her world so thoroughly with her immersive descriptions and compelling characters it always feels like I’m being drug away against my will when the end of the book comes. If you enjoy psychological thrillers featuring flawed by relatable characters, do not pass up on the opportunity to read one of her books.
— Poppy Fitzgerald, Author of Astray and Exile
“Since putting [The Manchineel] down, this book has haunted every aspect of my life. The wit and beauty of the prose has infected me, and I often think on how effortlessly this book paints morality not in of black and white but gray. The Manchineel reminds us, that even in the safety of our modern lives, nature is cruel and that survival is a paramount quest all governed by one question: What Would Elyse Do?”
