As a talented sound editor, Montserrat has always been overlooked and excluded from the boys' club ruling the movie industry in the 90s. When her childhood best friend/washed-up actor/the target of her secret crush Tristán discovers his new neighbor is involved in filming a legendary unfinished movie, Montserrat and Tristán are recruited to help complete the project. But soon, the duo finds they're tangled in a hidden secret of magic, curses, and white supremacy.

SILVER NITRATE has a slower build-up, but I couldn't put it down once the story picks up pace! I love learning about the movie industry and the different filming technologies. The technical terms can sometimes be quite niche, and some might find that it affects the pacing; still, I had a blast.

Moreno-Garcia is talented at infusing her worlds with an eerie and gothic vibe, and SILVER NITRATE is no exception. I particularly enjoyed the magic and curses in the story, even though some sections are pretty scary, and I even covered my mirrors at one point because I got so spooked
