Instead of being comforted at home in New Jersey, her mother starts leaving her in Puerto Rico with her grandmother and great-aunt each summer like a piece of forgotten luggage.When Isla turns eighteen, her grandmother, a great storyteller, dies. It is then that Isla discovers she has a gift passed down through her family's cuentistas. The tales of dead family storytellers are brought back to life, replaying themselves over and over in front of her.At first, Isla is enchanted by this connection to the Sanchez cuentistas. But when Isla has a vision of an old murder mystery, she realizes that if she can't solve it to make the loop end, these seemingly harmless stories could cost Isla her life.BuzzFeed's 20 Highly Anticipated Thrillers of 2022BookRiot's 15 Best New Mystery Books of 2022Goodreads' Books to Read for Hispanic Heritage MonthApartment Therapy's One Book to Read in October 2022Paste Magazine's Best New Fantasy Books of October 2022BuzzFeed's Best New Books of October 2022BookRiot's Best New Mysteries, Thrillers, and True Crime of October 2022CrimeReads' Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2022The Nerd Daily's Most Anticipated Book ReleasesSheReads' Best Sci-Fi & Fantasy Books Coming In 2022Hasty Book List's Best Books of October
