A review by leclerc
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
It was the first gothic book I ever read, and I was hooked from the very first page.
I actually hate slow burn, and I'm not a fan of it, but the book really did it for me. Naomi I loved how intelligent, charismatic and fearless she was, making the slow burn less boring and more pleasurable.
The book had the same ambience as one of my favourite TV shows, "the haunting hill house." As I read it, I had chills throughout my body. It wasn't too scary, but the setting was unsettling. The writing was beautiful - amazing - show stopping. Nightmares, dreams, reality all mashing into one.
The story was quite unique. The gaslighting and manipulation in this book are rendered so acutely and so convincingly I feel like it's happening to me personally rather than just reading about it happening to someone else.
Now I hate mushrooms more than I already did before.
