In a small town in 1920s Mexico, Casiopea Tun is too busy working as a maid to enjoy the Jazz Age. When she accidentally unleashes the Mayan god of death, she must accompany him on a cross-country adventure to help him reclaim his throne where failure will cause death and success will make her wildest dreams come true.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia's historical fantasy is an evocative atmospheric read full off gorgeously penned supernatural vibes that is vivid without being scary. Although the story is firmly Young Adult in topic, the author takes a more mature reflective tone with nuanced messaging. Instead of fawning all over the handsome god of death, Casiopea's love story is based on growing respect and trust. Overall, I enjoyed the book and was impressed with its unique feel.
