Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Mexican Gothic is already a favorite of the year and this cover is just divine.

I had the opportunity to read an eARC from Netgalley by Quercus books and I loved it. It's creepy and unsettling with lots of plant life and symbolism woven through the story to give it that particular gothic-horror atmosphere. Noemi isn't necessarily the most like-able character, but she's a bit entitled and vain, but also a brave and free-thinking spirit, who tries everything to save her cousin from the clutches of her new family and the family manor.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia has a fantastic talent to write books that are not comparable to other books in the genre. The only book I can think of that would come close to the feeling I got is maybe "The Lost Ones" by Anita Frank. 

I loved Gods of Jade and Shadow and I already got my hands on Untamed Shore and I cannot wait to see what she will put out next!

I can highly recommend this to everyone who wants to read something different and who'd like to read more diverse from an amazing author.

Thank you Netgalley and Quercus books for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
