I AM IN YOUR WALLS SILVIA MORENO-GARCIA AFTER THAT ENDING, I... ugh... I am not going to spoil anything but pls book a therapist's appointment once you start this book because, I am not the person I was before I started this book.
alright, onto better stuff and a more coherent review: this book was delightful.
the romance, the adventure, the ethics. it had it all in a wonderful context of Mexico in the roaring twenties and I feel like there's always some difficulty when handling historical urban fantasy but somehow Silvia Moreno-Garcia always manages to actually amaze me by introducing the context in a fable-like way that explains it perfectly.
the only thing I didn't fully enjoy, was the pacing at the beginning of the chapters and the way she handled the switch of the characters, hence the absence of perfection.
in conclusion, read this book PLSSSSS.
