Average rating3
A seventeen-year-old Texan from the wrong side of the tracks starts a supernatural detective agency—this is Fear Street for a diverse America.
Erasmo Cruz is from the wrong side of the tracks. His dad was a junkie who overdosed. His mom chose to run off rather than raise him. His only passion is the supernatural and his only family is his grandmother, whose aches and pains, he soon learns, aren’t just from old age but cancer.
Desperate to help his grandmother pay for treatment, Erasmo sets up shop as a detective. But he won’t be investigating burglaries or missing pets. Instead, Erasmo sets up San Antonio’s first supernatural detective agency. From hauntings to exorcisms, he soon finds that San Antonio is a much scarier place than even he knew.

I wanted to enjoy this a bit more because I always want to support Mexican American authors especially fellow Tejanos. Unfortunately, I thought it was a bit scattered and the tone was off. I was also hoping for more paranormal action instead of just abominable human behavior One big positive is the main character, Erasmo (my grandfather's name!), and his friend Rat. They are two lonely, abandoned souls who found each other and rely on each other to persevere. I also loved all the San Antonio references and any book that mentions chorizo and egg tacos is a-okay with me. I will be reading the sequel for sure and hopefully that one hits the spot like a chorizo an egg taco.
