Mariana Zapata's books look to be self-pubbed, but I've read and really liked several of them a lot, including Kulti, which is probably my second favorite of her books, after The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Some other folks seem to agree with me - Kulti has 4.7 stars on Amazon with more than 1,000 reviews. It has dropped to $1.49 as a US Kindle Daily Deal.

“Trust me, I’ve wanted to punch you in the face a time or five.”

When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to.

It didn’t take a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she’d seen in the international soccer icon—why she’d ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.

Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn’t known she’d existed. So she isn’t prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team’s season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he’d once been.

Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know.

Or the murderous urges he brought out in her.

This was going to be the longest season of her life.
