Wow this book was incredibly unique, it's a horror book, but it is so much more and is really genre bending, and expanding!
A retelling of the La Llorona legend told through generational trauma, and battling our own demons, figuratively and literally. A story of familial and community love, of self care and living as our authentic selves.
It's got gore and incredibly creepy scenes that'll make your skin crawl, but it's also this inspiring and beautiful story of overcoming hardship and finding inner strength.
I definitely recommend this if you're a fan of horror, but also if you're a fan or multi-generational stories, and stories about strong women.
Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the e-arc!
