Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.0

I already tried listening to the audiobook once before but didn't finish it before I had to return it. The first half or even a little more of this book is really slow and not exactly what you expect from this type of the book. However, it does give you a very good feel for the house Noemi is staying in and the people she is staying with. Because of all the good reviews and goodreads and youtube I gave it another chance and got the audiobook again for a rather long car ride and I was surprised that as soon as the story finally picked up some speed and a few (very creepy) things were revealed, I did really enjoy the rest of the book.

Because of these thoughts I was unsure if I should give the book three or four stars and decided on 3,5 because the first part did bore me quite a bit but the second part really made up for it.
