A refreshing blend of magical realism and mystery/thriller centered around brujeria and other cultural Magick, and being haunted by past trauma. The characters were complex and frustrating yet sometimes relatable. Who can you really trust in life; can you even trust yourself? And as a foodie and lover of Latin American cuisines, the food descriptions were awesome.
