Next Book Club Read: Piñata
Piñata by Leopoldo Gout, not your happy bday Piñata
The Last book club episode is out everywhere and so this means it’s time to announce the next book club read! We chose Piñata by Leopoldo Gout
This book is described as A Head Full of Ghosts meets Mexican Gothic and that sounds horrifyingly awesome.
This is the description from the book itself:
It was supposed to be the perfect summer.
Carmen Sanchez is back in Mexico, supervising the renovation of an ancient abbey. Her daughters Izel and Luna, too young to be left alone in New York, join her in what Carmen hopes is a chance for them to connect with their roots.
Then, an accident at the worksite unearths a stash of rare, centuries-old artifacts. The disaster costs Carmen her job, cutting the family trip short.
But something malevolent and unexplainable follows them home to New York, stalking the Sanchez family and heralding a coming catastrophe. And it may already be too late to escape what’s been awakened…
They were worshiped by our ancestors.
Now they are forgotten.
Soon, they’ll make us remember.
Does that not sound so espooky? We heard there’s possessions and Mexican folklore, making it a perfect choice for the Espooky Book Club For Busy People!
