Void of Course - Boulevard of Bad Spells and Broken Dreams, #1 - E-book - ePub

Taina Aponte, the sole survivor of an arson fire that killed her family, was taken to safety in Puerto Rico by her grandmother to escape the wholesale destruction of The Bronx. Thirty years later Taina, now a witch and still haunted by her memories, is back in the hood. She's inexperienced in urban magick and ill-prepared to battle the roving gangs of dhampirs and werewolves that set The Bronx aflame and wrested control from the police.
But time is running out to find those who set the fire-and why. Taina's search for the murderers uncovers a vast werewolf/dhampir conspiracy-and an alliance of fae to aid in her quest for justice. It's not long before she realizes she needs more than the elderly santera who teaches Taina mysterious Santeria rituals. She enters into an uneasy alliance with Arnaldo Arroyo, a reformed addict turned community activist who schools her his own special mix of sex magick and brujería. The truths she uncovers shake her faith in everything and everyone she ever knew.
Will she give up and run? Or will she accept the mandate of the orishas to restore the balance between good and evil and take back the neighborhood?
