BINDLE PUNK BRUJA

Frankie Corzo narrates this historical fantasy set in Kansas City. Luna is half witch, which gives her the ability to influence men through touching and kissing. And she's half white and half Mexican and can pass as white. The owner of a popular jazz club, she employs marginalized people and negotiates with bootleggers to create a welcoming atmosphere with plenty of illegal booze. Soon, her success catches the attention of vindictive mobsters, as well as the Ku Klux Klan. Corzo captures the novel's 1920s dialect, immersing listeners in a time period of speakeasies and flappers. Corzo also delivers periodic Spanish dialogue and accents. Consistently paced and full of sensuality, this intense audiobook is hard to pause. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2022]
