Critical Reviews

"Luis Jaramillo weaves a captivating tale of family, tradition, and the enduring power of love. His vivid prose and intriguing plot make his novel hard to put down!"--Reyna Grande, author of A Ballad of Love and Glory

"Gorgeous and thrilling, The Witches of El Paso casts a revelatory spell. I didn't want it to end."--R. O. Kwon, Bestselling author of Exhibit and The Incendiaries

"Spanning borders and centuries, The Witches of El Paso is a wild, wondrous novel about the magic that is singing all around us. With this story, Luis Jaramillo shows us how to catch the tune."--Julia Phillips, author of Disappearing Earth, an international bestseller and National Book Award Finalist

"Sexy, smart and soulful, Luis Jaramillo's The Witches of El Paso pulls us across borders and time to get to the essence of what it means for families to survive this beautiful, fractured world."--Mira Jacob, national bestselling author of Good Talk

"Jaramillo's atmospheric prose conjures the dusty El Paso of the past, and depictions of La Vista vibrate with 'colorful knots of waves, ' glowing indigo, maroon, and bright pink, yielding 'a wild spell, like yeast in the air.' This riveting page-turner affirms the adage, 'Family stories teach us how to live. Family secrets teach us to kill parts of ourselves.'

"Gripping and cinematic, the novel's worlds of El Paso past and present will bewitch and enrapture."--Kirkus (starred review)

"Jaramillo's debut novel strikingly portrays a family's unrelenting love and survival across borders, generations, and adversity with vivid descriptions of El Paso, Juarez, and the supernatural. Fans of Isabel Cañas, Zoraida Córdova, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia who enjoy historical fiction and subtle fantasy will devour this book."--Booklist
