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.

The future love child of Guillermo del Toro, Mike Flanagan and Jordan Peele should make a film adaptation of this book.

A little slow to get going and I guessed the major reveals at 48% according to my reading journal.
It did become a real thrill by the end though. I read most of the second half in a day.
There were a few times I felt like we were forgetting useful information we learned or not using avenues to learn more.
Ultimately, a great read. I'll be reading more from this author for sure.
