Description
The Sanchez women aren’t just unlucky in love—they’re cursed. Twins Delfi and Lela are haunted by a malevolent magic that’s followed their family from Cuba to Miami, poisoning any chance at romantic love. It’s no wonder their mother forbids them from magic.
When Lela and Delfi receive premonitions of a mysterious killer targeting witches, however, the sisters must embrace their emerging powers to save innocent lives. Teaming up with their best friend Ethan and brooding detective-in-training Andres, Delfi and Lela set out to catch a murderer on a dangerous hunt that will bring them face to face with the dark secrets of their family’s past.
Meanwhile, in 1980s Cuba, Anita de Armas whispers to the spirits for mercy—not for herself, but for the victims of her mother’s cult. She’s desperate to rid herself of her power, which manifests as inky shadows and an ability to speak to the dead, especially as political tensions rise and Anita’s cult initiation draws near.
Lela, Delfi, and Anita’s stories intertwine in a thrilling fantasy that spans oceans and generations as each woman steps into her power, refusing to be subdued by any person or curse.

the cover was beautifully done and I was mesmerized from that cover. It had what I was hoping for from the description and I loved the idea of the curse of the twins. Vanessa Montalban has a great writing style that I was looking for in a good book. It worked well in the fantasy genre and I enjoyed what I read.
"We stand firm in unyielding silence until Sam sighs in surrender. “Okay so, don’t go around saying this stuff, my dad could get into some serious trouble.” We lean in. “But once in a while, he’ll take in undocumented workers for a job or two to help them out. That’s how he started out, too, you know? We just had a crew clean out our refrigeration units. The guy you’re looking for might’ve been part of their team, but that crew isn’t here anymore.”

I haven’t read a fantasy YA in a long time and this was a great one to break that streak. The multiple timeslines/POVs kept me gripped.

I really enjoyed this story. I love the multiple POVs and alternating timelines, it really kept me wanting more. As a parent took twins I always have a soft spot for twin MCs, I enjoyed seeing how different their personalities were. The whole plot was interesting with navigating the mystery, supernatural, and suspense. I would 100% recommend this book.
