…and with that Rachel Gillig becomes an auto buy author for me. I loved this. The writing is immersive, the characters are compelling, and the magic system is unique and clever. It‘s a good thing book two is already out and that I own it. Do I read the things I‘m supposed to next or do I start book two? 🤔
This was excellent! Not ultimately super scary, but such a great exploration of toxic family dynamics!
Creepy with plenty of gore. I‘m not the biggest fan of gore but I liked the creepy.

@BookwormAHN I LOVE the sticker on the back of the envelope, super fantastical 🌹 I do agree, sometimes one just needs a 🌈 🦄 🦋 🐈!
Noemi Taboada gets pulled into High Place, a house in the Mexican countryside, trying to save her cousin. This book tries to do a lot - part mystery and part Mexico‘s colonial past. I liked it but I didn‘t love it.
I loved this one just as much as the first. What a great duology…so original and magical.
Someone is being very needy this morning and distracting me from my book…#AttentionSeekingPotato
Guuuuuuuys…this book was like a dark, kind of weird (no, I‘m not describing myself) fairytale, and had a magic system like nothing I‘ve ever read. I loved this so much. I immediately started the second book. I recommend it X 100.
