This book had me in a chokehold from the start. I don't speak any Spanish and when I realised there were a lot of Spanish words and phrases my first thought was "oh no" but in the end I really liked the effect. I only looked up a couple of words/phrases and maybe I've misinterpreted some words but I think I got most of them from context.
It didn't read YA to me at all (which is a good thing in my book). I'm not usually one for horror but it worked here.
I'm amazed by how vividly I could imagine the punishing heat, thirst, physical exhaustion etc.
Ugh, just read it. It's good. I'm gonna reread it for sure.
