What if airing a reel of film was the next step in a long dead ritual?

WOW, this was a great read to start just as the weather turns. From page 1 I was in love with Montserrat, and fell into her world. Between her and Tristán, I loved that you never felt like they just “bought it” with no hesitations - a true friendship, one of them is always calling bullshit!

If you’re a fan of horror movies, old cinema, or are aware of Nazi Occultism, this is a great thriller to sink your teeth into.

fun! the protagonists are both very flawed and snarky (and bisexual) and it's so refreshing that i get to be annoyed with them both at times. the mystery/occult portion was good but not great, definitely didn't scare/grip me the way mexican gothic did but it was still cool and spooky at times.

the romance wasn't super fleshed out but i still think they're sweet together, and i love the july talk shoutout in the acknowledgements
