Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia - Bookin' It With Jen

This book is beautifully written. And just look at that cover. I'm obsessed.

Combining ancient Mayan deities and the Roaring 20's shouldn't work, but it does.
 
An act of reckless desperation leaves Casiopea tethered to Hun-Kame, the Lord of Death. They set out on a quest to regain what has been taken from him by his brother, and to reclaim his throne. Each day he grows a little bit stronger but also a little bit more human, and in doing so is slowly draining Casiopea of her life. Even so, as her body grows weaker she becomes stronger and more determined in her hopes and dreams. 

This is a journey of self discovery and love and magic and possibility. 

Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
