This was not for me babes. 

I preface this review:

 I adored Mexican Gothic with my whole heart and I am so excited to read all the other SMG I have on my shelf. 

My main struggle was how slow this story was. This read like a classic which for me is a lot of words without a lot actually happening. Insert “HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE” feelings and eye rolls. The flowery, overly descriptive, text really killed the vibe for me and I was dipping in and out of the audio experience. I truly didn’t miss much because it was like six paragraphs to talk about how they would travel next. 

I’ve got to say too for a woman with a soul sucking bone shard in her body, you’d think there’d be some urgency and tension to, I don’t know, not die? No no. Don’t panic. Don’t rush. Just bumble along at a leisurely pace. 

At the end of the day Katt the reader is blunt as a butter knife and basically constantly in a state of fight/flight so any reading experience that’s lacking both those things, ultimately is doomed to fail. 

Too well adjusted.

Not enough anxiety. 

Where’s the chaos?!
