A review by gilroi
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

I'm not sure what to say about this book. It's very good, though more of a 3.5er for me personally. I liked all the characters. I even liked the romance. The conclusion was excellently written. I think I'm just not too into Gothic horror, and this is a weird book to find that out on. But it's excellently written, with memorable characters, a well-paced plot, and a viciously lovely ending.

I highly recommend it for those who find fascination in lurid tales of ancient families, horrible murder-suicides, mysterious incest, and the other staples of Gothic literature that, while well-deployed here, kinda don't do it for me, personally.

Still, good book. No argument there.
