Wayward Witch (Brooklyn Brujas #3) By Zoraida Córdova


Six months after the events of Bruja Born, Rose Mortiz has been trying to fix her family, and failing. While everyone pretends to be okay, Rose is the only one who sees the cracks in their facade. On her Deathday, she makes a canto about revealing the truth, when those cracks become wide and rise to the surface. Running from the truth her father tells, they are ambushed and dragged into a new realm. Separated from the world she knows and thrown together with her lying-estranged father in a world only familiar to him. They are taken hostage and brought to the Bastard King of Adas and forced into a deal. She has to enter a deal to pay off her fathers debts as well as gain their safety. With her powers now revealed and new, Rose doesn’t know the depth of what she is capable of. With a rag tag group of magical creatures, a prince, warrior princess, and her inner strength to guide her. They must learn to unleash their magical potential together to defeat a curse that plagues the realm and potentially earn their freedom. 

This book was the perfect end to the Brooklyn Brujas trilogy and, personally, my favorite of the three. There is so much strength behind Rose finally coming into her own, the family facing their issues head on, and showing the reality of family overcoming obstacles. Also love that there was representation for the LGBTQ+ community with the introduction of a new Latinx individual who was one of the main characters of the story. Lin had so much power, presence, love, and personal growth. They were one of my favorite aspects of the story and how much of an impact they had on the Mortiz family as well as Rose’s growth. This book just kept me engaged and I absolutely devoured it. There were a few times I woke up, having fallen asleep with my glasses on my face in the book. Being Latin, it was also nice to have a piece of my heritage reflected in the writing and the characters. 

Definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, the Throne of Glass series, and other books that have to do with the fae world and magic.

Miracle Mountain (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #20) by J.L Bryan

      During the gold rush, prospectors came to Miracle Mountain in northern Georgia, looking for their fortune in the local waterways. Legend tells of a mysterious event, of a girl falling to her death from the local waterfall and miraculously coming back to life the next day. Tourists now come to this legendary location looking for a miracle of their own. Nearby is a rustic historical inn that welcomes visitors looking for their own miracle and a glimpse of the local ghost Freija. Ellie and her team are called in to help the owners get rid of the malevolent spirits that are scaring away business.      I love this entire book; I swear every time it gets scarier as the series goes on! Ellie and Jordan come to the Highwater Inn to help rid of the malevolent ghosts but are told to steer clear of the friendly welcoming ones. The owner Willow, who claims to be a spiritualist, is trying to contact the dead and even goes as far as to welcome them into the inn. Wi...

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

 Absolutely, hands down, my favorite book in the series. The entire evolution of the story is incredible. Thank gosh it was broken down into three parts because this bitch wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.      LOVE the evolution of Nesta beginning to live and love herself, despite the darkness she's caused and witnessed. That she finds her reason for being and fights to retain it and fights to be a better version of herself constantly. Nesta finding her love in music and dancing, is so beautifully  written. The house being sentient being, even capable of complex emotion and understanding, is so beautiful. It gives Nesta the nurturing, respect, and love that her mother never gave her. Which while healing is something she desperately  needs especially because her mother was so absolutely awful to her. The addition of Emerie and Gwyn are the perfect characters to add and further broaden the family in the ACOTAR universe.       ...

The Trailwalker (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #13) by J.L Bryan

  "Why would teenage boys go out on a boat in a storm" Stacey wondered. "Well, now that I say it aloud, it kinda answers itself"           The team is brough to an old campground that is full of local legend. It is next to the mysterious mounds of a vanished people and once a summer camp for children before it was abruptly shut down due to mysterious deaths. The Conner family moved from the city, to create a space for children in need. They're on a deadline and the construction in the camp is stirring up the spirits of the grounds and woods. Between the deaths within the camp, Josh Conner's inability to accept the paranormal, and an old Indigenous legend of the Trailwalker, there is no shortage of possibilities. One thing remains the same though, t hese spirits are mainly targeting the Conner kids. Ellie and the team have to dig into this campground's rich history and determine what or who is threatening the family. Or else they may be forced to give u...
