hmm. i think this had the potential to be good, but it just fell short. for a book titled mexican gothic, there was little to none about mexican culture, and even the characters were mainly white. the gothic parts i think were executed better. i love spore-horror so that was great, but other parts were not so good. and like many others said in the reviews, it was incredibly slow. also some of the characters are underdeveloped or just gross. so approach this at your own risk.
