Maybe it’s just that I’m new to this genre and style, but this was amazing to me. The atmosphere was perfectly created, every time I picked up this book I felt like I was in High Place walking through the halls with Noemì.
And even though it was incredibly unnerving I somehow didn’t want to leave…

A great mystery, I found myself continue to read-- not necessarily for the story, but I needed to know how it ends.
The ending is satisfying, all your questions get answered.

I found the main character a bit hard to stomach at times - she was a bit of a cartoon version of a character.
I found the characters and plot more compelling and the writing more delicious in ‘The Hacienda’ by Isabel Canas.

- A lot of the reveal just felt like info-dumping. I suppose it made sense for the story, but I wasn’t fond of how it was all explained at once.
