For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemí’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. She’s not sure what she will find-her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Genre: Fiction | Historical Fiction | Horror | Science Fiction & FantasyĪfter receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside.
I can’t wait to see what your thoughts are on this book. Thank you, Savannah for stopping by today and providing us this review. Please help me welcome Savannah Cordova as she provides us a with her review of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Hey, let’s not get crazy people!) While I ponder what to read next and get ready to celebrate my youngest brother’s birthday (our birthdays are exactly one week apart minus a bunch of years), I’m pleased to welcome a guest writer/reviewer today. (I know, if I stopped re-reading, I might actually be able to whittle down the TBR list. We’ve made it to the end of another month, yay! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been spending my days either reading or thinking about what I should read next from my alarmingly huge TBR list.
