This was my first Silvia Moreno-Garcia book. I was really looking forward to reading this book. I have heard great things, and I love a good cult. This just was slow and not really shocking or surprising like I hoped. I was honestly excited to get the book done with. I will try Mexican Gothic next, as I have heard better things about that.

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

Overall I really liked this book- I
felt like the character development was much improved from the books that I’ve read of hers in the past. I’d highly recommended it to anyone who can handle supernatural horror. A lot of if also felt very historical fiction heavy, with all the elements of old Mexican horror movies inserted throughout, and I really enjoyed that about it.
