There are very few books where I actively gasp. This was one of those books. Had I not been at work I would have probably had a stronger reaction but even then I could hardly contain myself. Everything gets compared to Mexican Gothic now but truly this a fantastic read if you're itching for more like it. The gore and more nasty imagery isn't as present (unfortunately) but it shines in having a rich set of characters and a town that feels like you are never alone yet isolated at the same time. As somebody who is very picky and specific, this book was exactly what I needed.

It started very slow. I had a hard time getting going but the last 100 pages went by so quickly. Ultimately I liked it, but it wasnt my favorite.
