Hi everyone,
It’s been quite a while since my last review, hasn’t it? Let me just step slowly back into it. How am I supposed to write reviews again? Oh right, this one is going to be a little different; I’ll give you bullet points to what I liked and didn’t like about LL, but just read on to see what I mean! I couldn’t decide which cover to include, so I went with these two, both absolutely unique and beautiful in their own way.

Goodreads blurb: I was chosen by the Deos. Even gods make mistakes.
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, but who may be Alex’s only chance at saving her family.
Why I was interested:
Witches. Or how they’re called in the book, Brujas. It was actually my first book about witches, very enjoyable to read.
Diverse characters and author! I’ve been trying to read more books from and about diverse characters/authors, so this was perfect.
The plot overall sounded amazing and everyone who read it until before I got around to it was excited and happy with it.
What I liked:
The characters!
The diversity!
LGBT being included!
The plot!
There were very few moments I felt like the story was rushed. I like taking my time with the characters instead of being thrown from one scene into the other.
What I didn’t like:
The fight scenes… weren’t built up enough. They seemed to be over too fast and easy. There was no real struggle. As if the enemy wasn’t strong enough.
(The fact that I don’t have any other thing to complain about. I really, really, really enjoyed this book.)
Recommended for:
Readers of The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa.
Any- and everyone who is interested in witches.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
