I really enjoyed reading this gothic suspense novel. It is unlike any book I have read before and I think that the setting of the story really plays a big role in that. Set in the 1950s in Mexico, this title definitely had some historical fiction vibes. In addition, eugenics and a debate about if there is a superior race are also present in this novel. So basically, Mexican Gothic is a suspense, historical fiction, horror, and science fiction book wrapped in one. It sounds confusing and overwhelming, but it isn't - I promise. Also, I can't write this review without mentioning just how beautiful this title's cover is. It is easily the best-designed cover of any new release this year. The cover art caught my eye, but the story kept me until the end!
