After the events of Bindle Punk Bruja, Rose Lane should be on top of her world. Instead, she’s walking a tightrope of social expectations, hidden agendas, corrupt politicians, and dangerous mob bosses, as her bruja magic spits out curses and unintended consequences while everyone around her waits for her to fall and fail and expose secrets that will get her and her found family killed—or worse. Meanwhile, a hidden enemy waits in the shadows and moves everyone like chess pieces in a game that only they can see. Rose must defeat them before she loses everyone and everything she holds dear.
VERDICT Readers who were enthralled by Rose Lane’s infiltration of the mob in Prohibition-era Kansas City in the previous book, those who are fascinated by the boundary-blurring Jazz Age (as explored in historical mysteries such as Last Call at the Nightingale by Katharine Schellman), and anyone thrilled by the combination of history, tradition, and magic in Leslye Penelope’s The Monsters We Defy and Nekesa Afia’s Dead Dead Girls won’t be able to turn these pages fast enough.
