The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
Thank you to Del Rey via NetGalley for providing me with this ARC!
The fact that this was Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s new novel is what initially pulled me in, but the second I read the synopsis, I knew I NEEDED to read it: “Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.”
Mullti-generational POVs, can be hit or miss for me, as I can sometimes get over-invested in one POV over the others, but I really enjoyed reading all three POVs. This book tackles so many themes: power, privilege, family, friendship, and the horror of humanity. There were points where I wanted longer tension, or others where there were subplots I wasn’t very invested in, but overall, I really enjoyed this read and can’t wait to add it to my Silvia Moreno-Garcia collection!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
