(Done on audio) This is such an amazing book ! 
Trans, latinx, brujo/bruja culture. Family + found family. 
Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can’t get rid of him.

Elements of found family, magic, witchineess, and exploring the afterlife.  This book is amazing and had me smiling the entire time. . I listened to it on audio which was really nice for me so I could hear all the Spanish in its truest form . You will fall in love with ALL the characters and the history is lovely to learn (or relearn). 

I dare you not to fall in love with every single character ! Julian was my favorite with his addicting and energetic personality but each character is just as fantastic as the next. I also loved how the book shows the culture, complex family relationships and showed how important it is to accept those as they truly are. 

“Growth isn’t a deviation from what we’ve done before but a natural progression to honor all those who make this community strong.”

This book had me smiling , crying, laughing, and “hugging” the book at the end. A perfect book
