Great fast paced mix between noir and gothic (which are sibling genres to begin with). Mostly keeps the genre structure but also subverts it in fun ways

I thought this book would play out one way and it totally spun me an other. Needless to say, very interested in mushrooms now. It is sexy, it is tense, it is lovely, it is mysterious, creepy, and truly- At times- horrific. You meet Noemi at the beginning and immediately fall in love with this voracious socialite who just wants to truly live. She has an appetite for flirting and learning and when her cousin suddenly sends a strange letter to her father Noemi’s father offers her a deal she can’t refuse. Off she goes to see what is the matter with her cousin Catalina and there she begins to experience the strange dealings of the Doyle family; who seem to want to consume both women with the same appetite Noemi wants to consume the world. It is a fantastic book that touches topics of grief, eugenics, colonization, and the difficulties of escaping one’s own bloodline. Near the end of the book, the constant ideation of a snake eating its own tail comes - literally- full circle. We are left wondering how to live life with the horrors we have seen and how to move on from the grief of our own bloodline. Overall a trippy dream of confusion; you never really know if what has been experienced is a dream or a hallucination . Great for fans of the new nosferatu.
