Noemí receives a frantic letter from her cousin, claiming her new husband is poisoning her and that the house they live in is full of ghosts😱

Add this book to your Halloween TBR immediately, it is one wild ride. During the first half, I thought I was just in for your classic gothic horror story in a stately home...oh was I wrong. Things take a weird turn halfway through, and I just couldn't devour it quick enough. It is gory and gross and so unnerving, everything you want from a spooky read. The main protagonist Noemí is incredible, she wears amazing gowns just to pop to the shops and gives sassy comebacks to anyone who crosses her. She doesn't take crap from anybody💃🏻

I loved Gods of Jade and Shadow but this was so different. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is showing so much range as an author already, and I truly can't wait to see what she releases in the future.
