A sound director and her best friend/childhood crush who is a washed up actor find themselves fighting for their lives as a they are faced with a deadly curse, Nazi occultists, and ghosts. Montserrat is a talented editor who is constantly overlooked at her job... and by her best friend Tristán, a charming faded soap opera star whom she’s been in love with since she was a child. Tristán discovers that his new neighbor is a cult horror movie director by the name of Abel Ureta who is famous for the last movie he was in... that was cursed. According to Abel, everyone in that movie was cursed with bad luck and death, Nazi occultists imbued magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock and the magic film was never finished and since it wasn’t finished Abel swears he is cursed. Abel wants Montserrat and Tristán to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse... but Montserrat begins to notice a dark presence following her and Tristán starts seeing the ghost of his exgirlfriend. Now Montserrat and Tristán must find a way to figure out what truly happened to the film and what is behind the curse and how to break it before it’s too late. They’ll find themselves facing off against ghosts, monsters, and even Nazi occultists and cult members, all the while dealing with their own complicated feelings for one another. This was such a fun read, I adored the whole horror movie/mystery element and the way Montserrat and Tristán have such a complicated history with one another, from best friends who are so codependent on one another and the fact that they are exactly perfect for each other. This was a mystery, a horror story, and a bit of a romance story all rolled up into one and I had a blast!
