Major 2006 Monster House vibes! This book made me feel justified in needing a nightlight as a 25 year old and was a great introduction to the thriller genre for me! I loved seeing so much of Mexican culture intricately interwoven into the story, and having done my thesis on curanderismo and Mexican witchcraft, I was unsurprisingly drawn to the content.
I wish Beatriz and Andres had a happier ending, but overall, I think this ending did feel “right”.
