SOOO GOOD. So geniunely frightening and grotesque in the best way. Proceed with caution though and look into content warnings, as I had to take multiple breaks throughout my reading. I felt like I needed to wash out my brain with soap

4.5

Wow, this was such a pleasant (or unpleasant). Read the blurb expecting a nuanced witch hunt story but ended up with so much more. This novel is graphic and raw and covers a number, if not almost all trigger warnings but paints such a vivid picture of a violent and poor Mexican village full of injustices and superstitions and how the towns people suffer in this environment.

No sé si realmente hay talento o si Melchor simplemente dio en el clavo con esta fórmula de violencia gráfica.
