There are so many beautiful, amazing parts to Cemetery Boys! The imagery and details of the Latinx culture and brujx folklore were incredible, and the characters are so heartfelt.
I would have loved to get more of the thrilling mystery in the middle of the story instead of just at the beginning and the end, so the pacing did feel a little off. That being said, the last few chapters of this book are some of the best chapters I’ve read in a long time for so many reasons (but I will refrain from spoilers, so you just need to read it to find out why!!).
I highly recommend, especially if you love:
👻 ghosts (excuse me, spirits) and magic
🌼 vibrant cultures and traditions
💛stories of identity and belonging
