elizlizabeth 's review for:

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

It's a good premise, the execution isn't much a "horror" but more like a mystery that happens to be inside a creepy mansion. There's several instances of body horror though so be wary of that. The main character is compelling enough and the mystery is beautifully done although it feels slow paced at the beginning and then too fast in the end.
I personally thought the ending was a bit corny, but I'm also not a big fan of horror anyway so.
