vel629vet 's review for:

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.75
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A truly amazing and haunting story that is really lingering with me and definitely gave me one night of creepy dreams. I would have loved to study this book in a creative writing or literature class - the symbolism and imagery is immaculate. I thought the big reveal felt a little too simple, or maybe the right word is easy? Not sure, but there were some missed opportunities I think the explore some more of the horror after the reveal happens. 
Would recommend!
