The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova

August 25, 2021 by Emmalita 2 Comments

When Orquidea Divina dies, she leaves behind questions, mysteries and a fractured, resentful family. She leaves behind magic, silence, solitude, debts and an enemy. The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low or empty, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers—even for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the […]

Labyrinth Lost follows the story of teenage Alejandra […]

Labyrinth Lost

I had my Deathday and all I got was this lousy quest

February 19, 2017 by J Leave a Comment

Alex Mortiz is a bruja* and really doesn’t want to be one. She comes from a long line of brujas and brujos. Both her older and younger sisters have come into their gifts, but Alex is low-key hoping hers don’t kick in. Magic has never made anything in Alex’s life better; in fact, it has been key in making a lot of things worse. Alas, if Alex’s powers never came in, this would be a very short story. When they emerge in full force, Alex […]
