I do have to say that the excessive description, which I also believe is the point, really started to annoy me. I felt like I was reading a book with no ending. just a bunch of jumbled words.
also, if you’re not a fan of gore, do not read this. I do not recommend it at all. ...more
DNF at 20%, so why the rating you may ask? it’s a fun cozy mystery but personally, it’s not my favorite genre.

as a puerto rican I am so disappointed. this “caribbean” witchy love story was not it. its truly a shame.
first of all, the protagonist is supposed to as a puerto rican I am so disappointed. this “caribbean” witchy love story was not it. its truly a shame.
first of all, the protagonist is supposed to be puerto rican but is clearly narrated by someone with a mexican accent. secondly, the rest of the characters are supposed to be caribbean (puerto rican, dominican and cuban) but the lingo was so off. so many random coloquial spanish here and there not used correctly.
the plot had potential but it felt flat. it’s like a bad version of wizards of waverly place with encanto mixed in.
so disappointed in this book. it was repetitive and too slow paced for my liking.
definitely a commentary on social media and influencers, but would Iso disappointed in this book. it was repetitive and too slow paced for my liking.
definitely a commentary on social media and influencers, but would I consider it a thriller? I don’t think so. it’s mostly drama with some suspense sprinkled in.
the plot started to thicken and speed up at around 80% and that is just unacceptable.
and that ending? don’t even get me fucking started! truly despise a last minute, last paragraph twist with no explanation whatsoever....more
