Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5.0

It takes me so long to read physical books, but I was able to spend a few hours and read the second half of the book in one sitting and it was absolutely lovely. I like the suspense pacing, and I feel like there is enough foreshadowing where you can guess/anticipate things, but there were also enough surprises that also kept it very exciting. The climax and ending were very satisfying. This - especially the second half - are very bingeable, and would be a good airplane read. 
Also - Virgil (
I absolutely hated the rapey parts but it is very much in the genre/trope. It was so satisfying when he died though
).
