Really enjoyed this one! Like Mexican Gothic but with witches. Following three different storylines in Mexico and a prestigious private college in New England, our main characters deal with the push/pull of the past, difficult family dynamics, snobby rich people with questionable motives...and witchcraft! As a librarian, I appreciated that research is an important part of the story. I was instantly absorbed by the perfect blend of slow build gothic and sensational pulp. I do think the different timelines could have been woven together better, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. Thanks to NetGalley and Libro.fm for providing eBook and eAudio copies in exchange for an honest review.
