The book would have been significantly more enjoyable if there would have been proper chapters in the form of flashbacks about everything that happened in the past with Ewers and his cult. I felt like Abel, Clarimonde and Jose were just constantly telling their own story, and this way the plot in the present (which could have been so much fun to read) suffered greatly because everyone was continuously explaining everything the reader needs to know instead of showing it. This made it hard to get emotionally attached to the characters.

This book was so boring- the other shoe just never dropped.  I really liked "Mexican Golthic" but this did not live up to that past writing.

Cheesy & did not enjoy the writing (felt inexperienced/junior). Seemed under-developed.
