My rating: 4 of 5 stars

La Llorona haunts the riverbanks of Sueño, New Mexico, a town where women are constantly counteracting the good things with something of sadness. She’s the reason that the girls are told not to walk down to river, just in case La Llorona is looking for someone to take down to the bottom of the river.

Mercy loses her best friend to La Llorona, and barely survived herself. Now, struggling for her life and attempting to get past the sorrows of Sueño, Mercy must delve into a world of magic, healing, and maybe just maybe, she’ll make it out alive.

Overall, I really enjoyed this read! Weep, Woman, Weep is heartbreaking and beautiful. It has a lot of potential to give the reader more, but I feel reads more like a story/legend you tell around a campfire or such than a full length story. It reads much like one would think about something that happens to them, jumping from one place to another and retracing it’s steps. I know it’s not for everyone, but it definitely felt like it was made for this story. I’d love to read more from this author.
