Muneca by Cynthia Gómez

"Filled with longing and desire, Muneca explores the true cost of freedom and the lengths we go to attain it. Cynthia G mez's writing is utterly hypnotic; from the very beginning, she had me completely under her spell." -Monika Kim, author of Eyes are the Best Part

A vivid, surreal Gothic about a queer, Latine, working class witch who sets out to rescue a bespelled heiress and loses control of her powers and her heart in the process.

It is 1968 Oakland, and Natalia Fuentes has been hearing rumors about the beautiful Violeta Miramontes. The young heiress to Spanish colonial wealth has been left paralyzed by a mysterious illness. But Nati knows a thing or two about witchcraft, and she is certain that this is the work of dark magic.

Armed with a plan to break the spell and earn a handsome reward, Nati works her way into the house as Violeta's caretaker, and immediately discovers her suspicions are true. But who cursed Violeta? And why?

As feelings between the two women bloom into romance, Nati grows more and more reckless, and is forced to face her own ghosts- ones she hoped would stay gone forever.

Riveting and richly layered, Muneca explores how far one will go to save the person they love-even if that means damning themselves. Cynthia G mez fills her debut novel with moments that chill your bones and warm your heart, a razor-sharp examination of deep-rooted issues that will haunt readers long after the last page is turned.
