Noemí is a carefree university student and socialite in 1950s Mexico City when she receives an urgent letter from her newlywed cousin, Catalina. Silvia Moreno-Garcia's tells an utterly original story with ease thanks to a powerful, macabre imagination.

Noemí is instantly a fish out of water, plucked from her comfortable socialite lifestyle, where she is expected to “devote her time to the twin pursuits of leisure and husband hunting” and plunged into a strange place full of strange people.

I won’t give spoilers, but basically this book becomes so far out and unrealistic, that it completely turned me off.

Even towards the end, the ending had like 10 different directions it could have gone and every twist I was convinced it would go one way. As Noemi spends more time at High Place, the strangely menacing atmosphere begins to affect not only her waking hours, but also her dreaming hours and before long Noemi is having violent and macabre nightmares which seem too horribly real to be merely dreams. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. If I'd known about all the "supernatural" stuff going in, I probably wouldn't have read it.

You'll love The Book Doctor. Gothic is not my typical genre but I found this book difficult to put down. An electrifying chiller that plays with the conventions and form of the gothic thriller quite brilliantly, Moreno-Garcia’s brooding tale of a crepuscular mansion high on a Mexican hill.

The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. But as a Mexican-American, having a book with a Mexican protagonist who defies stereotype at every turn is a breath of fresh air I never thought possible. Wild ride start to finish, and I found myself paranoid about every plot event after a little while.
