The Haunting of Alejandra

I was very excited to read this horror novel based on the folklore of La Llorona. Sadly, the scariest thing about it is what a complete asshole Alejandra's husband is. The writing style, while beautiful, was just too slow and introspective to really instill any fear or creepiness. I'd be open to reading more from this author, but this particular novel is a DNF (at 30%) for me.

When I first started into the book I will admit the MC was annoying as hell then the story wasn't really connecting but the more I read the more I realized the message of it all. How generational curses can kill a family until someone stops it. This retelling took a Mexican mythology and used it to master a really good message. THOUGH I do have one problem with all of that. It seemed randomly put. We get the very start of the curse only for it to not start till 94 years later? That is the major issue I have with it all.
