Eerie intertwining stories of missing people from 3 timelines in 1908, 1934, and 1998. The book had the potential to be good, but the supernatural disappearances felt too identical to me. Their experiences didn't have nuance, which made them too predictable. I liked the Mexican folklore parts of the book. I truly hated the story of Alba and her creepy-ass uncle.
My first foray into witchcraft and thriller, I thought 'You simply live through it' was an exceptional through line. Very well written and composed.
An interesting look into one culture's view of witches. Minerva, Alba, and Virginia all from different generations yet connected via witchcraft. To be honest, at times, I almost gave up on the book as it seemed to move too slowly. yet it managed to keep my interest to the end. All in all, I did rather enjoy the book. Would I recommend it? Only to certain people. If you are interested in a different take on witches then this might be for you.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I think the three stories that are being told are interesting in their own rights and I love how they come together. The witches in this book are done in such a satisfying/horrifying way that I really appreciated the difference from the norm. I think the story falls short in some places and is a little too predictable but still I enjoyed the characters and the plot quite a bit.
