This book was unexpected in the best yet most magical of ways. I loved the fact that the Montoya family is so casual  throughout  most of the book about their gifts. Because they were raised in a mysterious and unique environment. They just  want answers  like most other large family's when the pasts comes to haunt them because of their grandmother's life. 

Marima  and Rey along with the rest of their cousins, aunts and uncles are so very different.  And they all don't  get along but they all band together in the end despite everything. Which made for such a good ending despite  the secerets that are slowly revealed.

Absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend seeing if your local library has the audiobook as well. 

I’ve now reread it multiple times and enjoy it more and more each reading. It’s such a poetic and circular story.
