A review by bartlebies
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
This book was so much better in print than in audio format! I loved the language in the book. The author really has a way with words and the setting especially felt so real and engrossing.
The plot itself was…weird LOL. I expected to be more annoyed by the constant threat of sexual violence because that shit is so rote but it wasn’t terrible. Still, it’s what keeps this book from being a 10. That and the pacing in the first half is slower than I’d like, especially since the last third is such a wild and fast ride!
BUT, overall a great read and the perfect appetizer for spooky season.
