The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5.0

---

I absolutely devoured The Bewitching. I love Silvia Moreno-Garcia's novels and this was no exception. She's a master of atmosphere, and she brought 1920s Mexico to life with such sharp, sensory detail. I was completely captivated by the toxic, fascinating dynamic between Inés and Yalxi. The story begins as a gothic family mystery and expertly spirals into a tense supernatural thriller grounded in authentic folk magic. It’s a mesmerizing, unsettling, and brilliantly paced novel that I couldn't put down.
