The Diablo's Curse

De: Gabe Cole Novoa

Narrado por: Vico Ortiz

From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Bargain and Most Ardently comes a high-stakes race to defeat a curse designed to kill—about a teen demon who wants to be human, a boy cursed to die young, and the murderous island destined to bury them both.

Dami is a demon determined to cancel every deal they've ever made in order to tether their soul to earth and become human again. There's just one person standing in their way: Silas. An irresistibly (and stubborn) cute boy cursed to die young, except for the deal with Dami that is keeping him alive. If they cancel the deal, Silas is dead. Unless... they can destroy the curse that has plagued Silas's family for generations. But to do so, Dami and Silas are going to have to work together. That is, if the curse doesn't kill them first. . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A tumultuous and romantic adventure."—Kirkus Reviews

"Evocative.... Novoa explores themes of masculinity, gender, and colonization, and meditates on how the histories of queer and immigrant peoples intertwine."—Publishers Weekly

"A fast-paced tale full of demons, queer kids, and pirate treasure."—The Bulletin

heartwarming perfection

I adored this story just as much as its predecessor and was beyond excited to get to know the title character even better. With the addition of more affirming cast mates, this adventure of treasure and self love is total perfection. The added pleasure of having Vico read us this tale with their incomparable storytelling voice(s) makes this book a must-listen.
