An astounding book with no shortage of heart-wrenching teen drama. Yadriel is a brujo, one of the male members of a necromantic tradition stretching back to pre-colonial Central America. He is also transgender and accidentally falls in love with the first spirit he raises, Julian. With the backdrop of a mysterious death in the brujo community and the possibility that Julian's death is linked, I literally burned the midnight oil to read the end of this book.

I can’t believe it took me so long to finally getting around to reading this. Oh my gosh. This book filled me with so much emotion. Family (of origin and found), identity, magic, death…what more could you want really? While I did see some things coming, I still really enjoyed this and was surprised by some things.
