Goddess of Filth by V. Castro
3.0
fast-paced

Female rage + The Craft comparisons + a 4hr audiobook? Sign me up.

📖 The book starts with five friends holding a seance. Immediately Fernanda's behavior shifts, and for weeks afterwards her behavior is erratic and concerning. Could she be possessed? What can her friends and family do to save her? 

🤝: This may be a good fit if you enjoy:
- feminist takes on Aztec mythology
- female rage
- friendship-focused plots

💭: I think this was a fun, quick audiobook. The themes were really cool, I mean a Goddess of Filth? Sin eating? Let's GO. Some of these scenes were very 'good for her' and fun. While I love a short story, I think this one could have benefitted from more character development and emotional moments between major events. 

🎧: Stacy Gonzalez did a great job narrating Goddess of Filth. Lourdes is the first person perspective, and then it will switch to third person for Fernanda and Father Moreno's sections. It took me a second to figure out the switches, but I'm glad I chose audio.
