I rather enjoyed this book. Amidst the tensions of a border town in the U.S. people have been disappearing and a strange fissure opens up in the ground. The relationships between the characters are interesting. I particularly liked how Avery's father and Hark's grandmother mirrored each other. Some of the characters speak Spanish (without translation), which I thought was a nice touch for defining the setting.
This is not an action packed book though. It builds to the threat and the characters respond it in ways other than brute force. The art is pretty good too. It uses the horror standard of hinting at the evil that is just out of sight. The coloring might be the best part though. It really makes the book stand apart.
