Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This book was a good way for me to get into horror books, and I also really want to make a d&d dungeon based on this setup now
