This is one of the most dark and disturbing novels I have ever read. It is full of violence and it has many graphic scenes. I often had to put this novel down and recoup before picking it up again. Don't let this sway you because Iglesias writing is phenomenal. You can feel his words as they pour of the page. He doesn't shy away from topics such as poverty, racism, grief, anger, guilt and death. The emotional weight his characters have make the book feel heavier as you read further and further into, The Devil Takes You Home.
Mario's life can be set into two sections. His life before his young daughters leukemia diagnosis and his life after. His life before wasn't perfect but he was happy. His daughter's diagnosis and the debt piling up from her treatment and care leads him into making a choice that results in a avalanche of bad choices.
Expect grit, supernatural moments and some really f*$&#d up scenes that will leave you haunted.
