4.5

This was the perfect moody, gothic, horror book for fall. Having read the author's previous novel Gods of Jade and Shadow and enjoyed it but felt that the overall development was holding back, Mexican Gothic was delightfully mature, taking more time to slowly develop the plot and immerse readers into the haunted atmosphere of High Place. Moreno-Garcia is an author to watch.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Rape, Murder

Attempted rape and 2 scenes with explicit sexual violence, other less explicit scenes of physical violence common in horror, would be PG-13 as a movie not quite R though
