After Omega discovers she has the unique ability to influence the emotions of supernatural creatures, she's certain she's strong enough to handle the feelings of others on Dia de Muertos. But when darkness overwhelms her, it's a sign that she's still vulnerable-and even worse, there may be a new malicious presence in her hometown of Noche Buena.

When a child goes missing at the cemetery, panic ensues, prompting the new sheriff to open an investigation. But then another child is taken. And another. Soon, with the help of Carlitos, Clau, and a magical emotional support animal, Omega uncovers that El Cucuy-the boogeyman-is responsible for the disappearances. And it doesn't take long for Omega to realize that, just like with La Lechuza, she may be the only one who can stop him. But at what cost?

This goose bump-raising sequel to Omega Morales and the Legend of La Lechuza is packed with magic, myth, and a brave heroine who must confront her own fears to save her family....After all, what's scarier than El Cucuy?
