nicolealycia 's review for:
Mexican Gothic
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Good then odd then good is the best way I can sum up this book.
I hadn’t heard about this book until right around the time it came out and it was getting absolutely phenomenal reviews. The description had me desperate to read it, a historical mystery thriller is just my kind of book!
I thought the book started out really good, the introduction of the characters and the setting was the perfect amount of frivolity mixed with the slightly creepy that starts to seep in.
Then the book took a turn for the odd ... not necessarily odd in a bad way, it was just very unexpected for me. It threw me off guard as that part of the story was being developed and took me a chapter or two to accept the slight change in what I was expecting.
But then I thought the book ended in a very thrilling way that totally made up for me being thrown off!
All in all I definitely recommend this one! It was a unique story and an entertaining read!
