Delicious. I ate this up. Old horror films, cults, dark magic - a beautiful mix. 

I loved both main characters. Montserrat and Tristán were utterly delightful. Both of them flawed and real. Fucked up in perfectly matched ways. 

The pacing of the book was phenomenal. Some said it was a slow start, but I was never bored - the look into the Mexican film industry kept me engaged. 

I liked the magic system - it made sense. And the overall vibes throughout were immaculate. 

The only thing that I could have done with more of was a deeper look into the cult.

We got a great look at the original members - Abel and all them - but we didn’t get much of the current day cult/cultists. I would have liked to see it.

It was a delight to read, and I will need to go out and buy a copy to annotate for my second read through!

All opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in return for my honest review.
