This started slow for me but WOW. This was the perfect October book. Creepy, mysterious, scary. I had ideas about what was behind everything but I never guessed what actually conspired. Really truly enjoyed this a lot! I think it would make a great horror film if done right.

Brilliant atmosphere, creepy stuff, a crumbling mansion, dark family secrets, so much gothic ambiance, strong sisterly bonds, and straight up horror - this is Mexican Gothic.

I put off reading this for ages because it was so heavily hyped. I can see why it is compared to Rebecca. It is PERFECT for someone who loves that classic but feels up for something a little bonkers and at times, downright gross. An ideal October read that got a little too out there towards the end for me, but was still ultimately a very satisfying and memorable yarn.

It took me a bit to get into the story but once it started going wow. The imagery is so tangible. The creepy factor is high but all of it feels very relevant to the story and the plot and not just there for shock. I absolutely loved the relationship that comes out of this and I feel like it's one of those rare ones that had such a solid build up and not just instalove. I would love to see this as a movie but I don't think I'd be able to sleep.
