A review by beckyg1016
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
dark
medium-paced
3.0
It's a Gothic story in Mexico. That really is the sum of it.
Nearly every Gothic trope I can think of is used in some way and if you've read a fair amount of Gothic lit, there won't be much that surprises you. If that sounds pedantic and tiresome, this is not the book for you. However, if you read that sentence and think "I LOVE Gothic tropes. I've read so much Gothic Lit and I love it every time!" then you are going to love this book.
