Thank you to Cemetery Dance for providing a review copy.
I really wanted to love this book. The intersection of Mayan legends and horror really piqued my interest. The parts with the Mayan culture was the best part to me. The story is well-written it just ended up falling apart and falling flat for me. The ending was not my favorite. But I did enjoy most of the book, hence the 3 stars. I enjoyed Braum's short story collection quite a bit more, and would recommend that.
