The Last Person Who Remembers You: When Santa Muerte Forgets: 1

When archivist María Álvarez builds an ofrenda for her late grandmother, she adds one photograph she cannot identify.By morning, the woman in the picture has crossed back into the world of the living.There is only one problem.Nobody remembers who she is.Not María. Not the historical records. Not even Santa Muerte.For María, every mystery should leave a trace: a name in a register, a photograph, a letter, something proving that a person once existed. But the woman before her has been erased so completely that even Death cannot remember taking her.Following a trail from Britain to Mexico, María is drawn into a mystery spanning generations. Alongside a Catholic priest carrying a forgotten grief of his own and Santa Muerte herself-ancient, terrifying, sardonic and increasingly disturbed by what she cannot remember-María discovers that someone has been removing people not simply from history, but from memory itself.Beyond the candles, marigolds and crowded cemeteries of Día de Muertos lies another road: one travelled by the dead, where forgotten souls lose their faces, familiar voices cannot always be trusted, and something old has learned that memories can be stolen.At the centre of it all is the nameless woman.A woman who once knew Death intimately.A woman who chose to be forgotten.And a secret capable of making Death herself afraid.To uncover the truth, María must confront an impossible question: if remembering the dead is an act of love, when does remembrance become another way of refusing to let them go?Atmospheric, frightening and deeply human, The Last Person Who Remembers You: When Santa Muerte Forgets is a supernatural horror mystery about grief, identity, memory and the courage required to release the people we love.Because the first death happens when the heart stops.The second comes when nobody speaks your name.And the third belongs to something else entirely.
