My only disappointment with this book is that it wasn't really "Mexican" - it felt like Crimson Peak but plopped in Mexico. It could've really taken place anywhere, I didn't get a sense of the Mexican setting other than the first chapter in Mexico City and the occasional mention of someone speaking Spanish or eating a torta/chilaquiles. I was hoping it would be more of a Mexican-style Gothic tale when it's really just an English one. Regardless, I really enjoyed the story and I don't normally like these kinds of books! Definitely a spooky read.
