Horror 5-/5
Worried for her cousin’s safety—or mental health—Noemi travels to the decaying mansion to convince the new husband to let her return with Noemi to Mexico City; but of course, no one can ever leave High Place. Noemi is a beautifully flawed and naïve protagonist facing obstacles and antagonists on every front. Yet she has strength and resilience, too—and smarts. Couldn’t put this one down.
