The Lords of Night (Shadow Bruja Series, Book #1)

The Lords of Night (Shadow Bruja Series, Book #1) by J.C. Cervantes

Fourteen-year-old Renata Santiago is the most powerful god-born of them all, a bruja with the ability to manipulate shadows and a magical rope that controls time.

Ren is also a girl with ordinary hopes and dreams. She's always been convinced that there's a connection between aliens and the Maya civilization, and she wishes her blog about extraterrestrial activity would garner more respect.

When Ren receives an e-mail about a possible alien sighting in Kansas, she thinks it could be her chance to prove her theory. It could also mean that the cinco - five renegade god-borns - are up to no good. Soon Ren finds herself embroiled in a quest to prevent the troublemakers from awakening the nine Aztec Lords of Night and overthrowing the Maya gods. None of Ren's usual friends are available to help, including her bestie Ah-Puch, the god of death, so Ren has no choice but to team up with two strangers: Edison, a half-demon teen, and Montero, an eleven-year-old Aztec hunter. Will this oddball trio have what it takes to succeed? This isn't just another challenge. It could well be an impossible one that leaves Ren questioning her very existence.

Anyone who enjoys fast-paced myth-based adventures will be swept up in this one featuring Maya and Aztec gods and their magical offspring.
