The Inheritance of Orquidea Divine by Zoriaida Cordora

A stunning story of family, survival and of course, magic. The Montoya family story begins with Orquídea in Ecuador where she makes a deal with the devil to save herself and her hometown which will follow the family through several generations. We flip between chapters detailing Orquidea's early life and how she came to Four Rivers to stay until present day when she summons the family home to her death bed. Years pass until the curse must be broken or debts must be paid as the remaining members of her family come to realize. Vivid imagery makes this book a feast for the senses, full of Latin American myth and culture, a healthy dose of magic and powerful family ties.
This will be a hit with readers of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Isabel Allende and readers of Stephen King's THE OUTSIDER.  5 stars
