This was my book club read for August. I liked it, but didn't love it.
I loved how atmospheric and creepy it was. But...I just don't think it was the book for me. I'm not into the supernatural theming and this one did have that. The beginning was a bit slow and it took me quite a long time to get into it. I kept avoiding going back to it but I knew I needed to get it done.
The sections with the two narrators, Beatriz and Andres, didn't really have unique voices. I thought they seemed kind of one note and sometimes I forgot whose perspective I was reading.
Overall, I'm glad I read it because it is a unique read. It's definitely a book that has fans but just not for me.

Great review, Melissa! Even though you didn’t connect very well with this story, at least you can say you read it. :)

This looked like it had some good potential but the reviews were not glowing for this one. It is a fine cover though! Fair review, Melissa
