Ooohh what a fun book!
The blurb says this book is a cross of STRANGER THINGS and GET OUT and y'all, that was right on the money.
Kids have disappeared. Nobody is looking for them. One boy, Cisco, disappears after coming into contact with Raquel's mom, who becomes sick. Raquel and Charlize, Cisco's cousin, team up to figure out wtf is going on in their neighborhood (the Bronx).
This book is a creepy sapphic story that will hook you from the very beginning. I was so into it that I read 80% of the book in one sitting. It's just that good.
BURN DOWN, RISE UP by Vincent Tirado (who btw is a non-binary Afro-Latinx Bronx native) is a MUST READ.
I mean, read this and tell me that it's an INCREDIBLE debut novel. It's their DEBUT NOVEL Y'ALL. Like holy shit, I have a new must read author.
BURN DOWN, RISE UP is out May 3. Thanks to @sourebooks for my e-copy through their Early Reads program in exchange for an honest review.

This was an experience.
I was sucked into the story for the first chapter and the story never let's up in intensity.
Thoroughly enjoyed this!

This book made me realize that I do enjoy reading horror novels. I also love learning about history and this book offered so much of that!
Sapphic friends to lovers plus an intriguing spooky mystery made this book a wonderful experience. Sometimes the writing style felt a little flat though. But it's still a page turner and definitely worth a read!
