Beschreibung
Some people ARE illegal.
Lobizonas do NOT exist.
Both of these statements are false.
Manuela Azul has been crammed into an existence that feels too small for her. As an undocumented immigrant who's on the run from her father's Argentine crime-family, Manu is confined to a small apartment and a small life in Miami, Florida.
Until Manu's protective bubble is shattered.
Her surrogate grandmother is attacked, lifelong lies are exposed, and her mother is arrested by ICE. Without a home, without answers, and finally without shackles, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past―a mysterious "Z" emblem―which leads her to a secret world buried within our own. A world connected to her dead father and his criminal past. A world straight out of Argentine folklore, where the seventh consecutive daughter is born a bruja and the seventh consecutive son is a lobizón, a werewolf. A world where her unusual eyes allow her to belong.
As Manu uncovers her own story and traces her real heritage all the way back to a cursed city in Argentina, she learns it's not just her U.S. residency that's illegal. . . .it’s her entire existence.
“With vivid characters that take on a life of their own, beautiful details that peel back the curtain on Romina's Argentinian heritage, and cutting prose Romina Garber crafts a timely tale of identity and adventure.”–Tomi Adeyemi New York Times bestselling author of Children of Blood and Bone

I fell in love with Romina Russell's writing through the Zodiac quartet, and Lobizona reminds me why I did, while also giving me new reasons to. She has a way of combining fantasy worlds with real-world issues that fascinated me in the Zodiac quartet, but due to the real-life issues being much more on the nose in Lobizona, this too gets reinforced with this book, especially by the smoothness with which it was done. We are presented with a new cast of characters that I like just as much, even if I had more troubles with this book's romance (mostly bc of taste, not quality, though), and I can't wait to follow Manu and the rest of her pack on their journey for change and equality!
