This book is about a pocho married to a first generation Mexican-American woman. She dies in an accident, and their Alexis look-alike haunts him. Too much gore, too cheesy. It's not really worth it to write a review about it. I have some highlights, though.

General concept decent.  Story opens with a young widower trying to cope with the death of his wife.  As it progresses it seems that the home smart speaker he owned with his wife is possessed and might be connected to her death.  The story is short but takes a turn that seemed odd to me and at the end was just a mess.  Not recommended.
