Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Will post a longer review later. Have to process this one.
*kind of edit as I don't have much more to add* I think it may be a "me" thing, but it dragged at times-- the pacing just seemed a bit off. Also, another "me" thing, but I may not be the audience for books dealing with the occult, no matter how much I try to like them. So take anything I say with a grain of salt... just because it wasn't totally for me, doesn't mean other people won't dig it! I loved both Montserrat and Tristan's characters, especially Montserrat; she's sassy, witty, and independent. I appreciated many elements that Silvia Moreno-Garcia incorporated into this novel: vintage films, the 90's Mexico City, weaving creepy happenings, occultism, and Nazis in one punch. But man, that pacing really just hurt the story for me.. I had the urge to rush through certain dialogue and scenes.
