Yadriel is a proud Brujox which his family comes from a long line of. When Yadriel’s cousin passes away, to prove himself as a Brujo and a trans man, Yadriel attempts to summon his cousins spirit in time for Dia de Muertos where the spirits of Brujox lineage come back to the living to visit for two days. Too bad he summons bad boy Julian instead…

Omg! Trans lead character, gay romance, Latinx culture??? Yes, yes and yes please!! This was picked for one of my book clubs but I’ve been dying to get myself onto this book for ages and it healed me inside I swear! It’s such a sweet YA adventure story! I love it so much. If you enjoy YA adventure stories read this yesterday!😍😍
