Fortune's Kiss

Are you willing to risk everything for a chance to be kissed by fortune? Drink and let your soul be measured. Welcome to Fortune's Kiss, where you can attain your wildest dreams, but the price of admission . . . may be your life. For the first time in a decade, the legendary gambling den, Fortune's Kiss, has returned to Ciudad Milagro. The game is Loter a. As starry-eyed children, best friends Mayt and Lorena made a pact to enter the den together, but much has changed: strong, proud Mayt , sole daughter of the disgraced Robles family, dreams of becoming a famous painter, while beautiful Lo suffers at the hands of her powerful--and abusive--father. With its return, the pair enter the mystical den. Once inside, they realize that beneath the enchanting glamour, the salon hides treacherous secrets--like the old, predatory magic beating in its heart. And it is ravenous. Round after round, the girls scheme, lie, flirt, do what's necessary to win. But when bodies begin piling up, all bets--and friendships--are off as each girl learns exactly how far she's willing to go to ensure she leaves the table on top. See, this Loter a is no children's diversion. It is a deadly game of chance that may just eat them alive. Step into the enchanting and perilous world of Fortune's Kiss, a captivating addition to the world of young adult fantasy books that blends the allure of a vivid, rich second world fantasy with the intensity of a life-or-death gamble. With its unique blend of Latinx culture, supernatural thrills, and a high-stakes magical competition, this gripping fantasy book for teens will appeal to readers seeking a fresh twist in YA books.
