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.
