When her father is attacked under mysterious circumstances, 22-year-old Trini Duran must return home to Chavez Ravine, a neighborhood mostly abandoned after the government sent letters to residents demanding that they leave. Only 200 stubborn holdouts remain. While the Mexican American community fights to save their homes, they face a new threat that is even harder to combat than the politicians who want them gone.

I enjoyed this book, my first read from Debra Castaneda! The Monsters of Chavez Ravine takes place in the 1950s, but the social themes explored in this story (community displacement, cultural erasure, discrimination) are still playing out today in Los Angeles-- look at Boyle Heights and many other neighborhoods fighting displacement and gentrification. Castaneda elegantly weaves these issues into a horror tale with some genuinely chilling moments, and I loved the cast of characters. I can't wait to read more of her work.
