The best part of this book was actually the historical value. I learned a lot about my home state I never knew. I appreciated learning about the Mexican traqueros and how they built their lives in the United States.
I also enjoyed the mystery aspect of the story but I'll admit the supernatural parts were a little much for me.
Alejandra and Jeremiah's relationship was... interesting. It was definitely enemies to lovers and the forced proximity was wonderful but I think Alejandra's hatred was a little too venomous for me.
This was a great Latinx Own Voices book that will give you a lot to think about in terms of racism and perceptions.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
