Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls Quotes

“Because if I was doing the right thing, if I was following all the goodness I believed in, that was good enough. I didn't care how much Little Lion yelled at me or hated me, or how much I reminded him of his last Bruja; I would treat him like a person. That's what I believed in. That was who I was. I wouldn't let anything - pretending to be a bruja, my town's disdain or Little Lion's anger - rob me of myself.”
― Kaela Rivera, Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls

“I was wandering through the cerros - the hills of the desert beyond town - at night, barely avoiding low heads of cactus. In the dark, their spines looked more menacing than they did under the sun. But then, I was a child. Everything looked menacing in the dark.”
