inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

I fucking ate this trilogy up in an evening. I have always loved this authors work and will basically read anything she writes.
Is it high fantasy or super immersive? No. But does it deliver on great enjoyment levels? Absolutely.
We have time travel, witches, high stakes in a fantastically written YA series.
Highly recommend.

This was such a delightful read! I love how we are dropped into the story without preamble, and the action starts right away. There was so much mystery and intrigue, I loved it! The Spanish expressions made the story more vivid and real to me as the main character was transported to Cuba. An amazing read!

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It is definitely something different for me, but I found it engaging and fun to read. I plan on continuing the series.

I was really excited to read this book, witches and time travel, sounded so cool. At first, it took me a while to get into it. I wasn’t a fan of our main character Desi. She’s so immature and I found her friends annoying as well. If it wasn’t for Kismet they all would have died for how careless they are.
Desi travels to Cuba 100 years in the past, I love that the women in the story are leaders and fight along with the men considering the time period. We watch Desi grow as a person; she’s still scared, 17 and fighting demons, I think she has the right to be scared, but she’s no longer selfish. I’m glad that she cares about Alba, Elena, Ramon and all the others to want to fight with them.
I was a little upset with the ending but after reading the sneak peek to book two I was fine with it.
Overall I think the book is great for young and older teens.

I enjoyed this debut novel by R.L. Perez. The characters were fleshed out, believable, and likable. It was a pleasure to watch Desi meet the challenges that come her way. The plot moved along at a good pace, and there were some really fun twists. Plus, the bulk of the action takes place in Cuba during the Spanish American war, which is a time period that isn't often highlighted in young adult novels. It added a freshness to this book that was really nice. I look forward to seeing what comes next for Desi and Oliver!

I was given an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. :)
