Not an easy death
Contains spoilers, click to show
Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose. Battered by a run across the border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they’re at a desperate crossroad, even if they won’t admit it. They’re searching through the small border towns near Mexico, trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner, Oleg Karkarov. The wizards believe Oleg is a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin, and that Oleg’s blood can save the young tsar’s life.

I'm not one for writing negative reviews and I really really wanted to like this book. Bit omg can someone tell me why Charlaine Harris is constantly writing about stupid annoying women? Considering the girl losses pretty much her love and friends in the first chapter she hardly has any emotional response. I just don't get the storyline or world building either. I won't be going on to book 2 😢 Definitely not an easy death

I loved The House on Mango Street when I read it years ago. I was excited to discover a new book by Sandra Cisneros.

This is the story of the Reyes family and their adventures, traveling from Mexico to Chicago and places in between. Lala, the youngest, narrates the tale, jumping backwards (to the beginnings of the Awful Grandmother) and forwards in time. So much drama, just like a telenovela.

I think I might have been the only one in our book club who truly enjoyed it. The flow was a little choppy, but I felt that it worked for the story.
