Mayra

First off thank you Netgalley and Random House for the eARC.
What can I say about this book,
1. it was really well written, I cannot believe this is Nicky Gonzalez debut novel. The writing alone had me hooked and kept me engaged.
Herein lies the problem, I was engaged and really enjoyed reading the prose, however nothing every really happened. You would start piecing together what was going on, the atmosphere would become tense, and there was an extremely slow burn heading to something magical. Then it kind of fizzled out and turned into a bad LSD or Acid trip, I had to reread several passages of the last 15% just to make sure I could at least pretend to grasp what was going on.
Although I did not particularly like the story after the 85% mark, the first 85% was absolutely flawless.
I will definitely be adding Nicky to my authors to follow for no other reason alone than I really enjoyed the time I spent reading her artistic way of tying the English language together.
