What can I say? At this point I’m afraid it’s me and not the book 🤣 So take my opinion during this ongoing reading slump for a grain of salt. 

This book gave me Mexican Gothic x Rebecca vibes. It relied heavily on atmosphere and mood, and the worldbuilding and pace were far too slow and ultimately underdeveloped for my taste. I loved the romance, but by the time we got to it I wasn’t invested anymore. On a positive note, the writing and language was immaculate. I am not giving up on this author yet!
