Goodreads Summary:
Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can’t get rid of him.
When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza, he performs the ritual himself, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free.
However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school’s resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He’s determined to find out what happened and tie up some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian, so that they can both get what they want. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave.
My Review:
This book is a masterpiece. I was overjoyed to win this ARC and even more so to be reading it. I loved everything about this book from the concept, to the characters, to the representation galore. It’s hard to make my thoughts about this book coherent because I’m still reeling! I loved that some characters seemed like stereotypes, but were far from it. I loved that this book was so unpredictable. It was also really sweet and relevant and I held on to every word.
I’d pretty much just recommend this book. Yadriel and Julian definitely reminded me a lot of Adam Parrish and Ronan Lynch from the Raven Cycle in terms of personalities and I loved that. This book is so worth the read! I’m making all of my friends read this because it was SO GOOD. Aiden Thomas did an amazing job on this book!
Overall, I would give this book…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
