Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Brittany Angel

Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whoever said bubble baths were relaxing, was a big fat liar.

In the small town of Sueño on the banks of the Rio Grande, if you’re a girl, you aren’t allowed to be happy. Not when La Llorona is waiting for an opportunity to drag you under a baptism you.

Mercy and her best friend Sherry find themselves on the banks of the river after dark and are never the same again. Mercy then faces more tragedy and becomes a lonely outcast branded a witch from the townsfolk all while being marked and terrorized by La Llorona. Slowly through perseverance she turns all the darkness around her into hope, gaining the name Miracle Mercy.

This was such a wonderful read. Maria’s writing makes you feel as though Mercy is sitting there on your porch with you and a bottle of wine telling you her story. Once you start, you just can’t put it down.
