These books create a fantasy world inhabited by secret Argentinian witches and werewolves. In the first book there were already magical alternate dimensions, schools, and soccer teams, plus secret identities, powers, and interrelated characters with conflicting loyalties and romances. The sequel keeps all this in the mix and adds more of the magical courts and the police/army situation, plus secret societies intent on bringing down the larger (also secret) society and the magical patriarchy. Combining the drama of truly intense situations with the drama of outsized teenage emotions, and with plenty of commentary on injustices in the real world, it's really a young adult fantasy series that epitomizes the genre.
