In this thrilling sequel to the "spellbinding" (Booklist starred
review) and "mesmerizing" (Publishers Weekly starred review) middle
grade fantasy adventure Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls, Cece and
her sister Juana must journey into the stronghold of Devil's Alley to
challenge the criatura king El Cucuy.
Cece Rios thought saving her sister would be the end of her adventures
in the world of criaturas. But part of Juana's soul is still trapped in
Devil's Alley. As Cece tries to find a way to get it back using her new
curandera abilities, Juana takes her fate in her own hands and sets off
alone, intent on restoring her soul and getting revenge on El Sombrerón.
But then they discover that El Cucuy, king of the criaturas, is hunting
for Cece, craving her powers for his own dark purposes. Can the Rios
sisters--along with Coyote, Little Lion, and their other criatura
allies--uncover his secrets and reclaim Juana's soul? Or will the
sinister forces of Devil's Alley overcome them all?
This award-winning series is perfect for fans of Aru Shah and the End
of Time and Amari and the Night Brothers.
