Consider Bruja Born by Zoraida Córdova.
“Bruja Born is a compact YA paranormal romance that opens on sudden loss and a desperate, morally risky spell. The book's value is Lula's raw emotional arc and the textured touches of bruja folklore that keep the stakes intimate. Limitation: the narrative leans heavily on repeated emotional wrestling, and the middle can feel slow as consequences and guilt are rehashed rather than new plot threads being added. Best experienced for mood and character over systematic worldbuilding.”
