SOLVED. 2011 YA Romantasy Series Featuring Magic in a Hot U.S. Locale; Pink Book with Crows

I read this around 2011. One of the books is dark pink with bird silhouettes in flight and a girl on the cover. The book takes place in a warm U.S. location—Arizona feels right; somewhere dry and remote. In book one, I believe she moves there to live with family after having struggles at home. She discovers her magic and falls in love with a male protagonist. The magic has ancestral/ritual roots. Possibly inspired by Indigenous or Mayan cultures.

I also believe there were Spanish words slipped into the book at random moments. I recall “abuela” (grandmother) being used.
