Demons clash with inheritance claims as secrets unfold and violence is unleashed over twelve harrowing hours trapped in a house with the worst thing imaginable: family.

When Papi Ramon, the patriarch of the wealthy Abreu family dies, he gives the family one last message in the will: One of you is el bacà, the demon that I made a deal with. Get rid of them or you will be damned. Xiomara, the uncontested favorite of Papi Ramon (and therefore the least liked in the family), watches as everyone dismisses this as the joke of a senile old man and demands the lawyer obtain the previous will Papi wrote.

While the lawyer drives back to his office, a storm breaks out, forcing the entire familyXiomaras aunts and uncles and cousinsto remain in the house. And the words of Papis will hangs over their heads even heavier than the rain clouds. Over the course of the night, scandal after scandal is revealed to the public about the family. Suddenly a tense few hours of surviving her family turns into a vicious night of recrimination, violence, accusationsand murder.

Xiomara is faced with an impossible task: uproot a demon and somehow kill it or excise the ghosts that linger within her own family.

And the clock is ticking...

Arvustused

"A sinister and compelling psychological chiller about the perils of assimilation in a community that doesn't want you. Difficult to read at times, but that's simply because Vincent Tirado's writing is so raw, so corrosive, so undeniably brilliant. We Came to Welcome You is nasty, playful, and deeply unsettling." Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

"A creeptastic, tongue-in-cheek combination of The Stepford Wives and Invasion of the Body Snatchers all wrapped up into a cookie-cutter-suburb nightmare." Booklist on We Came to Welcome You

"A deeply disconcerting and fully engrossing tale that explores the dangers of conformity and the effects of assimilation on the mind, body, and spirit. Vincents work casts off the illusion of a white picket fence as protection and asks you to consider that the real monsters are the ones who lurk behind it." Kalynn Bayron, New York Times bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead and Sleep Like Death, on We Came to Welcome You
