Complete Brooklyn Brujas series by Zoraida Córdova
The Brooklyn Brujas series is a YA urban fantasy series by Zoraida Córdova that follows three sisters―and witches―as they develop their powers and battle magic in their hometown and worlds beyond. “I always write the story I want to read,” Cordova told Writing Follies. “There weren’t any books about Brujas for teens and I made that my challenge.”
The first book in the series, Labyrinth Lost (Sourcebooks Fire), was a YA pick for 2020 Summer Scares, presented by the Horror Writers Association, Book Riot, Library Journal/School Library Journal, and United for Libraries.

Bruja Born (Brooklyn Brujas #2)
Lula Mortiz may be a bruja with healing powers, but after her family's battle in Los Lagos, she feels broken in a way she can't seem to fix. Then tragedy strikes when a bus crash leaves her friends and her boyfriend, Maks, dead. Desperate to reclaim normalcy, Lula invokes a dark spell to bring Maks back. It isn't until she hears that all of the bodies from the crash have gone missing that she realizes something is wrong. Lula has unwittingly raised an army of casi muertos—creatures between the living and dead—and they're hungry for freedom...which they can only achieve if Lula dies.

Then, on the night of her Deathday party, Rose discovers her father’s memory loss has been a lie. As she rushes to his side, the two are ambushed and pulled through a portal to the land of Adas, a fairy realm hidden in the Caribbean Sea. There, Rose is forced to work with a group of others to save Adas. Soon, she begins to discover the scope of her powers, the troubling truth about her father’s past, and the sacrifices he made to save her sisters. But if Rose wants to return home so she can repair her broken family, she must figure out how to heal Adas first.
