Description
Alejandra no longer knows who she is. To her husband, she is a wife, and to her children, a mother. But Alejandra is struggling; in times of despair, a ghostly vision appears to her, a crying woman in a ragged white gown.
When Alejandra begins exploring her family’s history, she learns that tragedy is not the only thing she shares with her ancestors. Because the crying woman was with them, too…
The Haunting of Alejandra by V. Castro is an evocative narrative that intertwines the themes of identity, family heritage, and the supernatural.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Haunting of Alejandra by V. Castro explores themes of generational trauma and cultural identity through a chilling horror narrative. Readers have praised the book’s atmospheric writing and its unique blending of Mexican folklore with the psychological struggles of its protagonist. While some have found its depth and emotional intensity compelling, others mention that the narrative's pace could feel uneven at times.
