Loved this novel! It’s creepy and challenging and deliciously frightening! The writing is excellent, and I loved the main character. She was complex and imperfect but so brave. I won’t be eating mushrooms for a while, though. Definitely worth reading! 5 stars
Historical horror featuring Mexican main characters set in Mexico
