The start of the book was really good. It hooked me within the first couple chapters and for a while it captured my attention. Somewhere in the middle things slowed down and I had to keep pushing myself to read but it picked up again towards the end.
I'm really interested to see where the last book goes. I feel like the setting might be one of my favorite places, so fingers crossed!

I loved that this book focused on Lula, and the next will on Rose
Lula's motivations make sense. As she explains in the early chapters, of course she'd want to hold on to Maks, the only sense of normalcy she's had in the last two years.
Since this book took place fully in Brooklyn, the reader is treated to more worldbuilding surrounding magical beings and organizations in NYC.
It was great to see Nova again and I appreciate his role as
This installment of the series executed horror elements really well, to where I feel this counts as horror subgenre.
The biggest strength I think this series has is the bonds between these sisters and their Bruja community.
I'd love to see this series adapted as a TV show/movie trilogy.
My best friend was lucky enough to meet the author at Book Con, and maybe once Covid has passed and in-person conventions return, I'll be so lucky.
