About the Book

Title: The Glades
Author: Angela Hunt
Publisher: Hunt Haven Press
Release Date: October 13, 2026
Genre: Suspense Thriller

When Katherine Armstrong arranges a birthday weekend on her husband’s private island in the Everglades, she plans for everything: the guest list, the menu, the flowers, the careful distance between herself and the dark water beyond the dock.

She does not plan for the storm.

By nightfall, the power is gone, the mainland is unreachable, and something in the mangrove shadows has begun to move. Katherine has spent years building a life that looks flawless from the outside. Now, with her children beside her and the water on every side, she will have to decide what that life was actually worth.

Sixty years earlier, a World War II veteran named Conrad Boone made a decision on these same waters — one that seemed containable, even necessary, at the time. He passed the consequence of that decision to his family. They learned to live with it. And the island learned to keep its secrets.

Until the storm.

The Glades moves between a Florida that no longer exists and a Florida that is drowning in its own inheritance, between a man who thought he could manage what he’d done and a woman who never knew there was anything to manage. What lives beneath the water has been patient for sixty years.

It will not be patient much longer.

MY REVIEW

I could not stop reading this Florida Everglades thriller story-Jurassic Park meets Nile Crocodiles!  I love visiting my family in Florida and this story was one of my worst nightmares come true!

The chapters go back and forth between present day and the late 1950s when Connie, who is known for being the best guide in the everglades, meets Victor Armstrong. Victor wants Connie to become his caretaker of Armstrong Island and help him raise his imported (secret) Nile Crocodiles. Over the years we see how Connie learns and takes care of the family of 4 Niles and then eventually his son Micco takes over as caregiver. Three generations of Armstrongs come and go from the Island where the present-day story picks up.

Micco and his granddaughter Yuna are trapped on the Island with Mrs. Armstrong, her kids and friends. After a deadly storm comes through, they have to figure out how to survive the crocodiles lurking underneath and make it back off the Island alive.

This fast paced, clean thriller was AMAZING and hard to put down! I really enjoyed reading it and getting to know the characters and how the Everglades helped shape their futures and beliefs.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

About the Author

Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author. With nearly six million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 160 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels and nonfiction.

Now that her two children are grown, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards–one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City. Afterward, the dog gave out paw-tographs at the airport.

When she’s not home writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers’ conferences. And to talk about her dogs, of course.
