I appreciated Alejandra's journey with her depression and feelings of postpartum guilt; her journey is not linear or neat or tidy. THE HAUNTING OF ALEJANDRA explores the complicated bond between mother and children and uses the idea of haunting as a symbol for generational trauma and inherited mental health patterns, as well as a representation of Alejandra's uneven marriage. The interludes of other women/mothers in Alejandra's line was very smartly utilized and helped keep the quick pace of the main narrative. This horror novel highlights the importance of community between women, both blood and found. Looking forward to more novels by this author.
