In The Diablo's Curse, did you enjoy ...

... a quest-driven story with high stakes and clear goals?

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas

If you loved the focused quest and driving mission that fueled The Diablo's Curse—with Teo fighting to save his people and himself—you'll be captivated by The Sunbearer Trials. Like Novoa's novel, Thomas's book thrusts its protagonist, Teo, into a dangerous competition with mythic consequences, where every decision matters and the goal is clear: survive the trials or risk everything.

... emotionally rich character growth and self-acceptance?

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

If witnessing protagonist Javi in The Diablo's Curse struggle with identity and personal transformation resonated with you, Cemetery Boys will deliver that same emotional journey. Follow Yadriel as he navigates magic, family, and self-discovery, growing into his power and sense of self in a way that is heartfelt and deeply authentic.

... Latine and queer representation woven into a fantastical narrative?

Each of Us a Desert by Mark Oshiro

If you appreciated the vibrant and authentic representation in The Diablo's Curse—from its Latine folklore to queer characters—Each of Us a Desert will speak to you. Oshiro crafts a magical realist landscape steeped in culture and identity, following Xochitl as she quests for belonging and truth in a world that mirrors her own struggles and dreams.

... a lush and immersive world rooted in mythology and folklore?

Gods Of Jade And Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

If the rich, atmospheric setting and deep ties to myth in The Diablo's Curse enthralled you, Gods of Jade and Shadow will sweep you away. Journey with Casiopea across 1920s Mexico as she gets entangled with Mayan gods—Moreno-Garcia’s lush worldbuilding and folkloric magic evoke the same sense of wonder and depth.

... morally complex protagonists navigating dangerous alliances?

Witch King by Martha Wells

If you found yourself drawn to Javi’s sometimes questionable choices and the blurred lines between right and wrong in The Diablo's Curse, you’ll be fascinated by Kai in Witch King. Wells crafts a protagonist who must make tough, ambiguous decisions while navigating shifting loyalties and dangerous magic—a perfect fit for fans of complex heroes.
