Cece Rios #1: Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls
Living in the remote town of Tierra del Sol is dangerous, especially in the criatura months, when powerful spirits roam the desert and threaten humankind. But Cecelia Rios has always believed there was more to the criaturas, much to her family's disapproval. When her older sister, Juana, is kidnapped, Cece is determined to bring Juana back. To get into Devil's Alley, though, she’ll have to become a bruja herself — while hiding her quest from her parents, her town, and the other brujas.
