A review by mochipooja
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

This definitely has that same feel of the gothic novels we had to read in advanced lit classes, almost like Wuthering Heights-style. Except this is horror with a spunky Latina lead. While it’s written fairly well, it takes way too long to get to the point and I got bored partway through. Doesn’t really pick up in pace till a little over halfway into the book. But once we see the mystery unveiled, the horror element becomes super creepy. I could honestly see this getting adapted as a movie.
