Award-winning Mexican-American and Indigenous author Jennifer Givhan brings us an exquisitely written, spell-binding psychological thriller—weaving together folk magick with personal and cultural empowerment—that is perfect for fans of Mexican Gothic.
When Eva’s husband is arrested for the murder of a friend, she must confront her murky past and embrace her magick to find out what really happened that night on the river.
Eva Santos Moon is a burgeoning Chicana artist who practices the ancient, spiritual ways of brujería and curanderisma, but she’s at one of her lowest points—suffering from disorienting blackouts, creative stagnation, and a feeling of disconnect from her magickal roots. When her husband, a beloved university professor and the glue that holds their family together, is taken into custody for the shocking murder of their friend, Eva doesn’t know whom to trust—least of all, herself. She soon falls under suspicion as a potential suspect, and her past rises to the surface, dredging up the truth about an eerily similar death from her childhood.
Struggling with fragmented memories and self-doubt, an increasingly terrified Eva fears that she might have been involved in both murders. But why doesn’t she remember? Only the dead women know for sure, and they’re coming for her with a haunting vengeance. As she fights to keep her family out of danger, Eva realizes she must use her magick as a bruja to protect herself and her loved ones, while confronting her own dark history.
River Woman, River Demon is a mysterious incantation of reckoning with the past and claiming one’s unique power and voice.

Tyckte om storyn och uppläsaren. Däremot var det inte direkt nån överraskning mot slutet utan att det förstod jag ju innan hur det mesta hängde ihop. Så kändes av och till lite seg. Men bra överlag.

Aaaaah! Det finns så mycket bra i den här boken. Första akten och sista akten är jättestarka. Men den långa andra akten i mitten är så tråkig att jag övervägde att ge upp på den. Dessutom är huvudkaraktären lite för irriterande och unlikeable. Fattar att det är fint att visa "okonventionella" mammor men liksom... Det var svårt att tycka om henne till slut. Nåja. Finns mycket att säga om boken men vet ändå inte om jag skulle rekommendera den. Svag trea.
