About the Book
"Erasmo Cruz is from the wrong side of the tracks. His dad was a junkie who overdosed. His mom chose to run off rather than raise him. His only passion is the supernatural, and his only family is his grandmother, whose aches and pains, he soon learns, aren't just from old age but from cancer. Desperate to help his grandmother pay for treatment, Erasmo sets up shop as a paranormal investigator. After witnessing a series of inexplicable events, he must uncover the truth behind his clients' seemingly impossible claims. From hauntings to exorcisms, Erasmo soon finds that San Antonio is a much scarier place than even he knew."--Book Synopsis

Winner of the International Latino Book Award, Best Young Adult Fantasy Adventure "A wonderfully entertaining YA horror novel [that] inhabits the interstitial space between YA stories and full-blown adult literature about horrible things. A great reminder that one of the best things about horror fiction is its ability to twist our guts like a rollercoaster ride and make us ask for more."-Gabino Iglesias, National Public Radio "[A] riveting debut."--Carole Barrowman, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "[An] indelible story that slowly sinks its teeth in and doesn't let go." --Kirkus Reviews "Hurtado takes us on a journey of self-discovery that is unlike anything else you will find in a young adult novel." --Just Geeking By

This book tells the story of Erasmo Cruz, a seventeen-year-old obsessed with the paranormal. After advertising as a paranormal investigator, he gets caught up in three cases, each one taking progressively darker, scarier, and violent turns. Twists and surprises are layered throughout. As I read this book, I was never able to accurately guess what exactly was going on. There were several moments which left me genuinely shocked, which almost never happens. And the suspense will leave you turning the pages well into the night. Highly recommend this book.
