Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for providing me access to an eARC of Vincent Tirado’s amazing book, Burn Down, Rise Up. All thoughts and opinions are my own. People are going missing and no one knows why. Sixteen year old Raquel finds herself caught in the trap of the deadly Echo Game when her mom mysteriously falls ill. This leads her to reunite with an old friend, Charlize whose cousin has gone missing. As the two team up to untangle the mystery of the Echo Game, they start to unravel some long-buried feelings they have for each other. Meanwhile, Raquel learns about the Bronx Burning for her history class and somehow this seems to be tied to the game. Will Raquel beat the Echo Game and save her mom? This book is wild. First of all, as someone who works with teens, I love books that highlight how resourceful teens are. These teen characters are inventive, funny, and so clever. I love Raquel and her attempts to be prepared for all scenarios while entering the Echo Game. The friendships in this book are fantastic and the romance is realistic for the dangerous circumstances at hand. And the horror? Amazing. The Echo Game and all that comes with it is tragic and terrifying. I think the history of the Bronx and Raquel’s love for her home add complexity to the Echo Game. I also enjoyed reading about Raquel taking both her parents’ religions into account when it comes to protecting herself from the Echo Game and learning more about her papi’s beliefs in Santeria and finding value in his beliefs that she hadn’t really considered before. I think sadness in scary stories always makes them more terrifying because the acknowledgement that characters have something to lose raises the stakes for readers and Tirado knocked this one out of the park. 5 out of 5 stars #books #5outof5stars #netgalley #burndownriseup #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCVi3uLf5f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stop five on the #burndownriseupbronxtour is The Point!! We were so excited to learn The Point was a real place!!! THE POINT Community Development Corporation is dedicated to youth development and the cultural and economic revitalization of the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx. Celebrating over 25 years of service, THE POINT offers a multi-faceted approach to asset-based community development. We will drop the rest of the tour stops today (hopefully!)! Reposted from @artistwriterstudio Stop five on our #booklocationtour @thepointcdc //“Where are you going?” she asked. “The Point.” And then, because I didn’t want to let go, I went, “You want to come with?” The Point was a warehouse turned community development center near Hyde, just on the other side of a post office. It looked like the kind of building that once mass-produced paper clips or something…On the inside, there were lots of different activities and services, from art club to book club to movie nights to childcare.” p. 47 // #huntspoint #bronx #bronxauthor #vincenttirado #thepoint #bookstagram #queerya #sapphicbooks #burndownriseup #bronx #bronxauthor #vincenttirado #huntspoint #queerya #thebronx #yahorror #bookstagram #sistahscifi #AfroLatinxAuthors #thepointcbc @v_e_tirado @sourcebooksfire (at The Point CDC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-eMsbvPTd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stop four on the #burndownriseupbronxtour is the Huntspoint Subway station. It plays a critical role in the story as the Subway should for any novel set in New York City. We were totally here for it!!! Reposted from @artistwriterstudio Stop four on our #booklocationtour No spoilers, so I won’t include too much p. 311 “Red brick pillars poked out of the ground and staircases paired with black handrails descended into the platform.” #bronx #bronxauthor #vincenttirado #huntspoint #6train #queerya #thebronx #yahorror #burndownriseup #bookstagram #sistahscifi @v_e_tirado @sourcebooksfire (at Hunts Point subway station aka : The Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgva1cBLtY8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stop number three on the #burndownriseupbronxtour The Hunts Point Post Office. Reposted from @artistwriterstudio Stop three on our #booklocationtour #huntspoint #postoffice “Wait!” I pointed ahead. “The post office!” The red brick building sat behind a tall black fence that opened on opposite sides…aside from the gates we were shut in by brick walls.” p. 289 #burndownriseup #horror #bookstagram #vincenttirado #bronxauthor #bronx #queerya #yahorror #yahorrorbooks #SistahScifi // @sourcebooksfire @v_e_tirado (at Post Office) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgtEJVIrsYn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Next stop on the #burndownriseupbronxtour, Boogie Down Grind Cafe. It's a real place, yall!! Reposted from @artistwriterstudio Stop two on the #booklocationtour @boogiedowngrind “Charlize and I were childhood friends, like Aaron and me, but our relationship was…different. Sometimes, I would talk a little too loud about going to the park, and she would be there. Other times, she would talk about going to get an iced coffee at the Boogie Down Cafe, and I would find a reason to go. It was a weird relationship, I know, inviting each other but not really inviting each other.” p. 18 #SistahScifi #happypridemonth t #queerya #queeryabooks #bronx #bronxauthor #vincenttirado #burndownriseup #huntspoint #yahorror #yahorrorbooks (at The Boogie Down Grind Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgs6o9XLxlm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stop one on the #BurnDownRiseUpBronxTour // #booklocationtour: @HydeBronx High School.  Reposted from @artistwriterstudio.  Despite the author’s annoyance at all the school rules, Hyde High School ultimately plays a large role in the book.  Schools in this country are not safe for students so reading about #schoolasmetaphor for a #safeplace in this book is refreshing. Here are some references through the book: "Hyde High School was know for giving lunch detentions for even the smallest infractions....." pg 8 "Hyde High School was new. In fact, it was the only newly built school in the Bronx, as none were erected in the last 50 years, or so I've been told. It's a medium-sized building with light grey stones and polished windows.....my eyes fell on the dean, who was making her rounds in checking adherence to uniform and other minor behavioral issues. Hyde was a charter school, so it had the luxury of making up new rules almost every year that we would either deal with or push against." pg 15 “If the school was safe, then there was no way the Echo would let us get to it.” p. 271  “She quietly led us to the side exit of the school. It opened to an alley with a metal fence…” p. 306-307 #SistahScifi #hydehighschool #bronx #burndownriseup #huntspoint #horror #book #bookstagram #vincenttirado #bronxauthor #queerya #sapphicbooks #yahorror #bookstagram  (at Hyde Leadership Charter School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgsnGEtJsXd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In June, we posted about the photo tour Vincent Tirado's former teacher created highlighting key locations in Burn Down, Rise Up and planned to post it for #pride. We know it's now July, but figured it's #pridemonth somewhere! We will repost the ten locations today. You can click #burndownriseupbronxtour to easily find all the locations. Enjoy!! Reposted from @artistwriterstudio I will be doing a #tour of this #book this week. #horror usually is not my #genre, but this is a good #queerya one. There is some cursing, and some #gruesome details. I would recommend it for older kids, like #highschool. #bookstagram #bronx #huntspoint #bronxauthors (I am not getting paid for this, but full disclosure, #vincenttirado is a former student of mine.

Reposted from @latearareads swipe for some relatables, continue scrolling for a book review ❤️ Burn Down, Rise Up ★★★★★ I talked about this book earlier this year when I had an ARC for it, but I wanted to talk more about it! I'm not really the type to read horror books often, but this one was so good. The writing was incredibly eerie, and it sent chills down my spine. There's so much to enjoy about this book. The creepy urban legend, the suspense, the representation, the main character's determination and the sapphic romance. ❤️ Also, the cover is stunning. This is a quick read, and it's perfect for getting out of reading slumps. One of my favorite reads this year! 5/5 stars and highly recommend. Thank you @sourcebooksfire for the hardcover copy! I love it! ❤️ . . . . #bookblog #girlswhoread #bookreview #igreads #burndownriseup #yabooks #bookcommunity #bookstagram #romancebooks #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #readersofig #bookrecs #BurnDownRiseUp #VincentTirado #SistahScifi #sapphic #sapphicreads #BlackHorror #YAHorror https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWzTYaL5U7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are so excited for the next Sistah Scifi Wine Down Wednesday with @thebronxisreading and @fearlessyaya interviewing @vi.nerd about their latest book BURN DOWN, RISE UP!! Reposted from @shereadytoread “You don’t have to move out of your neighborhood to live in a better one.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I got more than I expected. I loved the integration of Bronx history and community activism. The horror of this book was very real and the use of the fire and community displacement added a realistic element to the horror. Usually I hate a romantic subplot, but this one of the ones that I enjoyed. The characters made you want to root for them and the the uncertainty of the villian was a good addition. I really enjoyed this book! // #sistahScifi #BurnDownRiseUp #AfroLatine #Horror #VincentTirado // @sourcebooksfire @sourcebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1exkoP8n5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We jumped at our desk when we learned about Vincent Tirado's second book, WE DON'T SWIM HERE.

Tirado serves another gripping ya horror, but shifts settings from urban industrial underground subways of Hunts Point in the Bronx to the bucolic rural lakefront of Hillwoods.

As in Burn Down, Rise Up; history, legend, and community continue to play center stage in We Don't Swim Here as Bronwyn navigates painful trues to free themselves and those they love.

If you are excited to learn more, @boogiedowngrind is hosting an in person Q&A with Vincent Tirado Thursday May 4th at 630PM EST. And course, Sistah Scifi has preorders of hardcovers signed by Vincent Tirado.

Better yet, check it out from your local #library. Today, we celebrate @HuntsPointNYPL.

Reposted @sourcebooksfire In WE DON’T SWIM HERE, the next horror YA novel from @v_e_tirado, we follow a gripping investigation that unveils humanity’s monstrous potential.

Perfect for readers of Tiffany D. Jackson, Lamar Giles, and Ryan Douglass
