This is my first Silvia Moreno - Garcia book and I will be definitely be reading anything else she's written, cause what I loved most about this book, was her writing style. I think she has a beautiful way with words, she surely knows how to tell a story and this book was quite compelling and interesting to read.

Overall, it was a very intriguing read. I was invested in the story, I couldn't put it down and was really keen into finding out what would happen in the end. I was surprised I was so interested in the story, because I didn't really feel connected to any of the characters. I didn't really care if Noemi would get out or not, I didn't particularly enjoy her subtle romance with Francis and generally, apart from my dislike towards the Doyles, I didn't favor any character.

What was missing for me, was the atmosphere. This book has nature horror and many thrilling aspects, but I didn't feel like scared or afraid or anything of the sorts. I'm a scaredy cat, I do not read horror EVER and was actually contemplating if I should pick this up, because from the synopsis I coul gather that it would scare me a lot. This book not only did t scare me, but it didn't even feel like a thriller. Scary and gross things happened and it didn't feel anything. I didn't feel my heart racing or the need to stop reading, etc.

All in all, this is such a well written book, with an intriguing, original premise, from an author that knows how to tell a story. The reason for my "low" rating amidst all these great comments about it, is as I said, the lack of atmosphere.
