I really liked this book. The characters are amazing. They are cool too. My favorite part is when Eva and her friend Lucy build a sand castle. I also liked when they did a swimming contest. I like reading all of the books about Eva and her adventures.

In this story by Zoraida Cordova, there is rich Latin American folklore and incredible fantasy blended together to create the book known as Labyrinth Lost, the first book in the Brooklyn Brujas series. Alex Mortiz is a witch, although in her world, they’re called brujas. Alex, more than anything, wants to get rid of the magic that she knows she’ll eventually discover. Unfortunately, Alex’s first display of magic happens, and suddenly she’s all set up for a Deathday; plus, Alex turns out to be an encantrix, the once-in-a-lifetime On her Deathday, Alex casts a spell to banish her magic forever, but instead, she ends up banishing her mother and two sisters to Los Lagos, the in-between land for the living and the dead. Her only hope is to team up with a brujo named Nova and dive into the fantastical realm of Los Lagos.

I liked this book in spite of several negatives. It was extremely slow. And it had a lot of holes in the plot and unlikely coincidences. But I found the story entertaining and I was hooked to keep reading to find out who was murdered and why. I listened to the audiobook, which has the benefit of multiple narrators to bring the characters to life.

I could not put this book down. I loved how this book went back and forth from 1700's to our time period today. I saw how the author was trying to connect the past and present. I wish I could re-read this book again, a must read for historical fiction fans!

The Ghosts We Keep
by Mason Deaver

book cover


This book was complex in how it portrayed grief and how it can affect family/friends/lovers. There were thoughts I read that someone I know has expressed feeling at that time in their life and made me reflect on if I did the right things during that time.
