I learned so much from this book, not only deep dive into the detail of Día de Muertos, but also learned some Spanish words. This book is amazing. I love the slowburn romance between Julian Diaz and Yadriel Vélez Flores.
Also, I love how Maritza... being so brave by doing the healing even not using the animal blood. In the end, I bawled because this whole story is beyond beautiful. Thank you for bringing this book, Aiden Thomas. You're brilliant.

But Yadriel and Julian are so dang cute 😭 it's a fun story with a good pace. Also the concept of a teen witch who won't use her healing powers because she's vegan is hilarious.
I'm curious how much of the "brujx" culture is real and how much is imaginary - I would love to learn more.
