![]() Having already read this author’s Zodiac series, Lobizona’s slow pacing didn’t surprise me. Trigger warnings for ICE raids involving police brutality, descriptions of heavy menstruation and intense menstrual pain, brief reference to rape described as a “violation”, drugging of a minor, fantastical metaphors that parallel racism, xenophobia, and transphobia, overt sexism and homophobia, and graphic violence.Ĭontent warning for frequent references to Harry Potter. ![]() A world where her unusual eyes allow her to belong.Īs 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. 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 connected to her dead father and his criminal past. 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. Her surrogate grandmother is attacked, lifelong lies are exposed, and her mother is arrested by ICE. Until Manu’s protective bubble is shattered. 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. ![]() Manuela Azul has been crammed into an existence that feels too small for her. ![]() December 4th, 2020 – December 27th, 2020 Rating: Format: ![]()
