Nothing says Happy Birthday like summoning the spirits of your dead relatives.
Alex is a bruja, the most powerful witch in a generation...and she hates magic. At her Deathday celebration, Alex performs a spell to rid herself of her power. But it backfires. Her whole family vanishes into thin air, leaving her alone with Nova, a brujo boy she can't trust. A boy whose intentions are as dark as the strange marks on his skin.
The only way to get her family back is to travel with Nova to Los Lagos, a land in-between, as dark as Limbo and as strange as Wonderland...
3/5 stars (like it)
I didn't really feel that Alex really disliked magic. Sure she seemed like she wanted a normal teenage life but I didn't feel she hated magic so much she wanted to get rid of it. I knew Nova was trouble the moment she met him. She has a best friend, Rishi who doesn't know anything about Alex's family or the fact that she's a Bruja. Most of the time is spent getting to know Alex and Novo as they travel through Los Lagos to save her family from the Devourer. The Devourer was once a witch who was banished to Los Lagos and decided to take it over and make the place a horrible place. The love interest for Alex was not who I was expecting and the ending left things open but gave closure.
