Creepy and intriguing
A book that is easy to lose yourself in. A story of dark magic, blood, and the often traumatic ties that bind.

noemi, the entire book: this man is ugly but 🥰
i really loved this book so much, the only reason it’s not a 5 star read is the beginning was kinda slow. once it popped off tho…. ooh boy everything you would want in a gothic tale.

I rated it a 3.5 because I'm not a fan of horror, but I liked Mexican Gothic a lot more than I've liked books in a similar vein. This is also the second book of Moreno-Garcia's where the ending bumped up the rating from what it would have been.
