"TO BE FREE, WE MUST LEARN TO FLY.
Tere Sánchez has always known who she was: a professor, a wife, a mother, and a friend. But when her husband dies unexpectedly, she finds herself completely broken. Taking a leave from the university, Tere hopes that she can mourn her husband and get back on her feet, but instead, she spends a year consumed by grief.
Until the day she levitates.
Suddenly, Tere’s life is thrown into disarray, and the repeated incidents of levitation not only make her question her sanity but also put her in danger. She decides she will do anything to stop them. So when she’s reminded that her family is related to the renowned levitating mystic Saint Teresa of Ávila, she leaves the refuge of her home and travels to Spain, hoping to find answers. But saints can be elusive, and not all answers are easily found. Tere will soon have to decide whether to remain shrouded in her grief or open her heart to a world where we need no wings to fly …
“There is a wonderfully compelling authority on each and every page here, one borne from hard-earned wisdom, the kind that can only bloom from hardship and loss. But Ann Dávila Cardinal is able to capture all of this with humor and life-loving passion and poetic grace. Cardinal is the real deal, and once again, her fine writing soars.”—Andre Dubus III, New York Times bestselling author of House of Sand and Fog"
"There was always an old woman dying in the back room of her family’s house when Isla was a child.
Isla Larsen Sanchez’s life begins to unravel when her father passes away. Instead of being comforted at home in New Jersey, her mother starts leaving her in Puerto Rico with her grandmother and great-aunt each summer like a piece of forgotten luggage.
When Isla turns eighteen, her grandmother, a great storyteller, dies. It is then that Isla discovers she has a gift passed down through her family’s cuentistas. The tales of dead family storytellers are brought back to life, replaying themselves over and over in front of her.
At first, Isla is enchanted by this connection to the Sanchez cuentistas. But when Isla has a vision of an old murder mystery, she realizes that if she can’t solve it to make the loop end, these seemingly harmless stories could cost Isla her life."
"After the hurricane, some see destruction and some smell blood.
Vieques: a small island just off the northeastern coast of the main island of Puerto Rico.
A place struggling to recover after Hurricane Maria, where developers smell desperation and see opportunity.
A paradise turned hunting ground for something angry that the storm revived.
Lupe, Javier, and Marisol are back to investigate a series of murders that follow in the wake of destruction and in the shadow of a mysterious new threat.
Category Five is a supernatural thriller set against the backdrop of a post-hurricane Puerto Rico, about the families we choose and the monsters we never see coming."
"'Almarie Guerra is wonderfully cast to narrate Cardinal's fabulously creepy murder mystery...Guerra's well-paced performance, including her perfect Spanish pronunciation, will keep listeners engaged with the suspenseful narrative, which is equal parts crime investigation, macabre ghost story, and slow-burn romance. For thrills and chills in a tropical setting, this is the ideal pick.' — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner
Ann Dávila Cardinal's Five Midnights is a “wickedly thrilling” (William Alexander) audiobook based on the el Cuco myth set against the backdrop of modern day Puerto Rico.
Five friends cursed. Five deadly fates. Five nights of retribución.
If Lupe Dávila and Javier Utierre can survive each other’s company, together they can solve a series of grisly murders sweeping though Puerto Rico. But the clues lead them out of the real world and into the realm of myths and legends. And if they want to catch the killer, they'll have to step into the shadows to see what's lurking there—murderer, or monster?
“A frightening, fast-paced thriller.” —Julianna Baggott, Alex Award-winning author of Pure"
