4/5⭐ 1/5🌶️ Tropes -Friends to lovers -Reluctant allies 📖My Thoughts A beautiful yet horrifying gothic fairytale. The author has a bewitching writing style that will pull you in. This is my second time reading this. I initially gave it a 5 star rating, however, I was still pretty new to my return journey of reading. I feel that I am a bit more critical since then and am giving it a 4 star simply because I can't say that it's an amazing read even though I really enjoyed it. I love the suspense and how the story slowly unfolds to something you aren't completely expecting. ⚠️Triggers This book covers a lot of triggering themes such as, attempted rape, cannibalism, eugenics, forced marriage, incest, miscarriage, violence and murder, racism, suicide, and live burials. 🌶️Spice There is not a whole lot of spice in this book except the moments of attempted rape and then closer to the end of the book the MFC and one of the MMC's finally get romantic after pining for each other throughout the book. That was probably my favorite part in the entirety of this book. You have this gorgeous, smart socialite who falls in love with this sweet, shy, and below average looking man. I loved that.

I would give this a 3.5. This was not bad, a little weird, but well written. There were some parts that seriously grossed me out lol but the concept was interesting. Reminded me of “The Last of Us” - but not as scary, altho living in that house would be... The family in this was shitty, I really like the FMC though, she was sassy and fun to read.

A slow burn with a dark vibe, Mexican Gothic had me hooked. I loved Noemí, the main character, for her strong-willed, intelligent, and fearless personality, which made her stand out in the eerie setting. The story itself is creepy and weird, and I will probably have nightmares of ol' Howard. But it was a fantastic read!
