The Haunting of Alejandra by V. Castro

dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

It’s hard to capture everything about this book. 

To me, this is a book about the darkness of post partum depression. The voices in your head that are lying to you. It’s also about the power of generational trauma. 

Alejandra is fighting to stay alive, but there is a “creature” telling her to die. She has three children. Married to a man, who isn’t supportive. 

Then her children start seeing the creature. 

She knows she has to fight the creature to protect herself and her children

Her ancestors have been fighting this creature for decades, mini losing their life and their children’s life to it
