Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can't get rid of him.
When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his true 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.
Thoughts:
August and September were books filled with family and learning to accept yourself
even when others refuse to accept you. Yadriel is a fighter and he deserves so
much in the world. My heart hurt when his own father used his deadname. The
narrator added so much emotion in each character than Aiden`s writing really
pushed through.
Maritza is the friend we all need. She is supportive but doesn't let Yads get
away with any bullshit. She calls him out when needed but is the first to
jump in to support him.
When the ghost of Julian bargained for Yadriel`s help, what was expected
was the growing romance between them.
There are amazing twists in this beautiful diverse debut novel. Aiden has so
much potential and I can't wait to see what they write next.
TTFN,
Ashley
