I liked our two main POVs.
Uh, by the way, this book....is freaking scary. I didn't think that Mexican Gothic was scary but
I enjoyed it. I thought it was solid and I feel like I will definitely be reading other books by Cañas.

I will admit, this wasn't the first book I've read by Isabel Canas, as I've read Vampires of el Norte last month and enjoyed that as well.
The characters were enjoyable, likable, and believable, the flashbacks were woven well to give backstory and propel the story forward without ruining the pacing, the plot-twist took me by surprise and what I thought I knew wasn't what was really happening, and the romance between the two MCs was sweet but took nothing away from the main plot.
This book as well as Vampire of el Norte has cemented me as a big fan of this author!
