Passion. Horror. Betrayal.
From the nationally bestselling author of the Lily Wong thriller series comes a “stunningly original” (F. Paul Wilson) dark journey into Brazilian mysticism about a desperate mother who rises from the slums to embrace Quimbanda magic amid her quest for the ultimate revenge.
Across forty years, three continents, and a past incident in 1560 France, Serafina Olegario tests the boundaries of love, power, and corruption as she fights to escape her life of poverty and abuse. Serafina’s quest begins in Brazil when she’s possessed by the warrior goddess Yansã, who emboldens her to fight yet threatens to consume her spirit. Fueled by power and enticed by Exú, an immortal trickster and intermediary to the gods, Serafina turns to the seductive magic of Quimbanda. It’s dangerous to dance in the fire. But when you come from nothing, you have nothing to lose.

In an effort to not give anything away I won't go into the plot too much. The main character, Serafina, is a strong, charismatic character and she remains polarizing throughout. In the second half of the book, there are some additional characters introduced who I absolutely fell in love with, and I stayed in love with them till the end.
The narrator of this book is amazing. Her pronunciation of the cities and Portuguese phrases, as well as the gods' names, immersed me into the story and culture, and her portrayal of the characters made me feel truly connected. This is one of the few times listening to an audiobook has also made me want to purchase the book in physical form. Some of the lines are so beautiful that I want to have the ability to flip back the pages and read them again, and I don't think I would have noticed them the same way if they had not been narrated so thoughtfully and gracefully.
This book is not for the faint of heart. There are some graphic violent and sexual scenes, but they are very well done. It deals with topics of mental illness, depression, abuse, and injustice. In short, it blends the fantastic with reality, and in a very powerful way.
I can't wait to read more by this author, and will absolutely be searching for more by this narrator as well. Do yourself a favor and listen to this book.
Masterfully written and read
