I enjoyed getting wrapped in this dark (moist?) world. The diolgue really helped with the time and place. I could easily imagine the scenes playing out in a black & white film with romantic actors. Definatly one of my fastest reads this year and one I could recommend to most my friends.

This was a fun twist on gothic novels with some horror added in. Noemi has to travel to visit her newly married cousin who hasn't kept in touch only to discover a mystery at her new home.

There were moments where this was a little bit repetitive, and at times it was almost a little bit to gruesome for me, but it was also a fantastic and gripping story and I just generally seem to love most things about Moreno-Garcia's writing.

Finally,  I finished this book. After picking it up and putting it back down I finished it. It had nothing to do with the book and more on my mood and fear. This was my first(and probably last) horror book. Some background, I am a huge chicken. I do not like the horror genre in any form(movies, books, television) but I thought, screw it I will give it a try. 

This book succeeded in creeping me out and disgusting me. Some of the content in there was just disturbing. However, I still enjoyed the ride. I loved the writing and the creepy house. I don’t think the romance was necessary and I sometimes I did forget that the characters were in Mexico, it felt liked England to me for some reason. Overall, I enjoyed the book and will read more from this author. A great way to end October 🎃

CW: incest, attempted r*pe, child death, cannibalism, racism, misogyny, sexism, forced marriage.
