WINNER 2014 International Latino Book Award - Best Young Adult Fiction - English

I am your salvation. I am your beginning. Your end. Your life. Your death. All death.

You can run, but you can never hide from SANTA MUERTE

Ariana Molina is a high school student in Chicago and life is quiet until her father, Reynaldo Molina, the lead federal investigator in Mexico targeting criminal organizations arrives on her door step. After her father is involved in a mysterious car accident that leaves one person dead, Ari begins to have visions of a veiled skeletal figure that asks for her father.

Struggling with gruesome ghosts, and being suspicious of suspected gang members that have moved in across the street, Ari soon becomes the target of the drug cartels and their black magic cult of Santa Muerte.
