"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 Martiza, he performs the rituals himself, and then sets free 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 Rating: 1.5/5
I really just didn't care about this story. I was interested in the cultural aspects and the ideas that are presented in that regard, but the characters themselves. I felt that their romance was fine and cute, but nothing was something I cared enough to keep me interested. I also saw the plot "twist" at the end of the book coming, it felt like the plot was too obvious to me. I hope that those who read this book for the representation feel that it was fulfilled, and I have no hard feelings about this story, it just wasn't for me. And that's ok.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
