Where has Isabel Cañas been all my life?? This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Been taking breaks between reading cause I don’t want it to end so soon.

First date idea: exorcism

When the yearning is so intense that you can’t help but notice the feel of contours of her body against yours, even when she’s actively possessed by a demon and trying to kill you.

If Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a genius, then Isabel Cañas is a GOD. From the lush prose to the setting rich with culture and history, this everything I wanted Mexican Gothic to be. It asks, what is autonomy in a land ravaged by colonialism? What horrors are to be found not only in our shared violent past but also in the restrictive and oppressive present we find ourselves in? Ugh, I never want this book to end.

Oh, I already know this one is going to be a banger!!

FUCKING FINALLY THE CAT GETS TO EAT JESUS CHRIST

GIRL FEED THE FUCKING CAT OH MY GOD

Emilio is so close to self-awareness, breaking up with Leonora because of being at different stages in life but what was he doing dating a 21 year old at his big age of 28 in the first place????

What’s with cat sitting getting people mixed up in crazy shit?? This is the plot of Caught Stealing too!!

Hitting on your sick wife’s cousin in the middle of the night is a crazy move…

¿!¿!!¿CATALINA WAS ENGAGED TO AN INCLÁN?!?!? I knew when it mentioned Veracruz that the books were connected, however loosely.

Love an afternoon of Shirley Temples and literary hedonism.

I need Moreno-Garcia’s entire bibliography injected into my veins, IMMEDIATELY!! I’m about to put an absurd amount of books on hold.

When the slow burn is so good you forget that he’s her uncle (by marriage).

“Things can only improve in 1929.” Oh boy…

…estoy un poco caliente jajajaja

Thank you to the librarian that put this out on display because I am eating this the fuck up!!

I am always immediately intimidated by any fantasy book that starts with maps and diagrams.
