Parts two and three of the series, Aixa and the Shark and Aixa and the Spider , are available for those who want to read the whole series.
The border town of Sangre de Cristo exists in two worlds. In the real world it straddles the boundary between the US and Mexico. In the other world, it is a place where the living co-exist with the dead.
Aixa Riley is a woman who lives in both worlds. Heir to a tradition of magic older than the nation she was born in, she lives in her mother's home town and protects the citizens there from dangers from without and within. Allied with the local padre, the ghost of her grandmother, and a sexy DEA undercover agent, Aixa sees danger coming from both directions.
This is part one of the three-part La Bruja Roja series, an urban fantasy about Aixa Riley, a Mexican-American witch living in a border town that marks not just the border between Texas and Mexico but the border between the land of the living and the land of the dead.

Dark forces are gathering in Sangre de Cristo, forces led by a ruthless drug lord under the protection of a powerful bruja of his own. To save the people she loves, Aixa must succeed where law and the Church have failed.
Aixa & the Scorpion is part one of the Red Witch/Bruja Roja paranormal suspense/horror series and is a self-contained novelette.

Interesting story. The ebook version I own, has 65 pages (font size 9), so it's a fast read. I was happy to have read the trigger warning here on goodreads before reading the book. I do think the same warning should be mentioned at the start of the book. They're not my triggers, but I was still a bit shocked by some of the content.
I mostly liked the writing style and the atmosphere of the book. It reminded me of some of the darker Anansi-stories I read while growing up.
