Beautifully written, three-dimensional characters and a thrilling story. I thought I had figured out the ending but I my realization came at the same time as Beatriz’s. I don’t usually even read horror, but looking at it through a lens of just a much darker magical realism, I loved it. 

Andres’ + Beatriz’s love story was also just 🤌🏻
