Mexican Gothic

Definitely should come with a few trigger warnings. There are several instances of attempted rape. Also, you'll never want to eat mushrooms again...

This book is severely creepy. I found myself avoiding reading it. Between the oozing black pustules and the incest, it was a lot. If you can get past the repugnance, this book is actually not bad. I didn't enjoy it as much as Gods of Jade and Shadow though. I liked Noemí's spunk and how Francis was described as unremarkable throughout the book. I knew early on that she was going to burn the place down, but it didn't make it any less satisfying when she did. It was never explained why Francis was studying mushrooms so thoroughly. Was he trying to understand the immortal mushroom to get rid of it, or because he worshiped it? It was unclear.

Great spooky book to read during Halloween season.
