A review by papillina
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3.0

It was a good read but it didn't spark anything for me, unfortunately. I feel like I went in with high expectations and felt disappointed in the end. I don't know how to describe it fully, but if the author didn't mention certain details of the environment and people, I would forget this was supposed to take place in Mexico (I kept visualizing the places in Twilight). I don't know what that says about me, maybe I just lacked the visualization of a gothic horror story, or maybe I was hoping to relate with the protagonist a bit, either way, I finished it. I will try SMG's other books with a different mindset for sure.
