Still feeling broken after her family's battle in Los Lagos, Lula invokes a dark spell to bring her boyfriend and others back after a fatal bus crash, but unwittingly raises an army of hungry, half-dead casimuertos, instead.

I admit to buying and reading the book without reading a single blurb about the book, not even the one included with the book. I knew I was going to read it and I didn't care to know what it was about. That ended up being very effective because after the start of a rather humdrum sister feeling out of sort and needing her own time to heal post return from Los Lagos, everything is literally and figuratively violently turned upside down. (If you want to know how, go read the second paragraph of the blurb on Goodreads or any other online book website)

3 stars | Eh, i'm conflicted about this book. I wanted to like this book. I liked the story (or the idea of it), but at some point it was just 'too much'. The book started out very promising, but a couple of chapters in and I was bored. The plot took a weird turn (I was in for witches, not all the other cliché creatures you can imagine) and the characters were inconsistent; where were Alex and Rose's personalities? The writing wasn't as good as in the first one. I'm hoping this was just a case of second book in the series syndrome and that the next one will be better because I really like Rose and I can't wait to see what happens to her when she goes into the kingdom of Adas.

And the ending -__- Really?

Also, Rishi was barely in this book and Nova, ♥.

Librarian: We probably won't be ordering this one, Not because it isn't good, but because we don't have the first one. I might try to get the first one added to the order, but without one, we won't get two.
Reader: I picked this one up because eI absolutely adored Labyrinth Lost, and I hoped Bruja Born would be similar. In this it exceeded my expectations. The plot line was a lot deeper than the last book, and the world felt more detailed. I will say that it felt more like a companion novel then a sequel, but that probably had more to do with the perspective shift then the content.

Actual rating is 4.5 stars
This series just keeps getting better and better! I was a little worried when I first started because the beginning felt a bit slow. But once things took off, they reeeeaalllllyy took off! I loved that we got to dove deeper into the supernatural world of Brooklyn and learn more about these awesome characters. Lula, Alex, and Rose are such powerhouses. I just want to be best buddies with them and go on all sorts of crazy adventures! 


Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

I loved Labyrinth Lost, and I loved Bruja Born. I could definitely relate more to Lula, I think, than I ever did with Alex. Losing someone, learning to live with unexpected tragedies and coming to terms with death are things that ressonate with me lately. I can't wait to read more.

I really liked this book, I had no idea it was a sequel which means it is a great stand alone book as well. I fell in love with all the characters. I definitely recommend this book!

Next in the Brooklyn Brujas series of fantasy novels that follow three witch born sisters as they develop their powers and battle magic in their hometown and the worlds beyond. Lula must let go of the ghosts of her past to face the actual living dead of her present. Lula Mortiz feels like an outsider. Her sister's newfound Encantrix powers have wounded her in ways that Lula's bruja healing powers can't fix, and she longs for the comfort her family once brought her. Thank the Deos for Maks, her sweet, steady boyfriend who sees the beauty within her and brings light to her life. Then a bus crash turns Lula's world upside down. Her classmates are all dead, including Maks. But Lula was born to heal, to fix. She can bring Maks back, even if it means seeking help from her sisters and defying Death herself. But magic that defies the laws of the deos is dangerous. Unpredictable. And when the dust settles, Maks isn't the only one who's been brought back... "Cordova keeps the flame on high...
