sleepydahlias 's review for:
Mayra
by Nicky Gonzalez
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
This was so strange (/pos). I’m not sure if I would qualify this exactly as a haunted house story, but it was enjoyable all the same. I feel like the center of the book did get a bit repetitive and I think only one journal entry at a time made the story feel like it dragged on. I did like the pros. I think it began feeling like a fever dream which I really enjoyed. I honestly wished there was more of it. I think the ending did feel fitting for the tone of the story.
This was a great debut and I’ll be keeping an eye out for Gonzalez’s next book.
