I can't bring myself to recommend work by people I know if I don't believe it's good - I'm too afraid of judgment - so believe me when I write that this is excellent work, never mind the author being a former professor of mine.

Popsugar 2018 - A book by a local author
It takes a lot of skill to write a good book that switches between not just points of view but between the past and the present. I feel this one failed. It came off as very disjointed and erratic. I never got to know any of the characters well enough to care about them.

The writing is decent enough. The Southwestern lore and superstitions are interesting and sometimes humorous. I enjoyed some of the fun language usage.
As for the story, it's just too scattered and patchy. For me, a book with too many plots is essentially plotless, and therefore pointless. Furthermore, I didn't like any of the characters. They annoyed me. I also found it confusing to keep track of the characters as things bounced around among the various plots and perspectives.

There are some books where the author’s descriptions and creation of the setting is so strong and comes through so clearly, that it outshines the story in my memory. This was one of those novels it seems, as it’s been so long since I read it that all I truly remember is a strong sense of place. In reading the Amazon description of the book, it seems that I am not alone in this.
