Can men ever take accountability?

Revisado: 03-31-25

Reading this book is difficult as a husband, father, and teacher. Much what I have been conditioned to believe is so deeply rooted in misogyny that each page challenged the beliefs of what it means to be a man. Recent events, Trump’s reelection, Musk’s takeover of twitter, and Zuckerberg backsliding from policies that would stop manosphere platforms shows the vitriolic response that men have towards women. This is an incredibly important read.

Freedom is not the problem

Revisado: 06-15-24

I was not prepared for the impact this novel would have on me. The quest of this sisters love to find justice, uncovers the truth of femicide and our inability to recognize and all to often excuse the threats that lead to it. Uplifting and heart wrenching Cristina Rivera Garza weaves the important narrative with historical context and questions that we must confront.

A wonderfully woven story of the sins of the father, revenge, forgiveness, and redemption. Told part western, part mystery, and part ghost story, the book keeps you enthralled in every single detail.

A haunting story with a beautiful lesson in love

Revisado: 07-18-23

The Haunting of Alejandra tells a beautiful story of the generational battle that women have faced throughout history, as a frightening allegory. Hidden in what seems to be horror story, the story of Alejandra tells the story of the importance of self love, self care, and the importance that “Sometimes you need to know you are not alone in the scariest experiences, especially the ones that push you to the brink of understanding everything.”

Un mensaje muy importante

Revisado: 05-09-23

Siendo un hombre de 50 años que nació y creció en los Estados Unidos viviendo en dos mundos de México y California. Este libro abrió mis ojos a los agresiones que ha tenido todo mi vida. Oyendo mi mamá decirme que no me debo, está jugando en el sol tanto, porque me voy a poner prieto oyendo mis compañeros güeros diciéndome que soy muy afortunado porque no me veo tan mexicano. Le doy gracias a este mensaje y a este libro.

An amazing reimagined classic

Revisado: 09-16-22

Silvia Moreno-Garcia has created another beautiful and compelling world of of romance, adventure, science fiction. Moreno-Garcia continues dance between genres to tell diverse and intriguing stories.
The Daughter of Doctor Moreau reimagined a familiar story and raises the stakes with two new courageous and complex characters.
While I would have loved for the conflict to come sooner the story keeps turning the page.
Having also listened to the Audible edition of this book, I will say that the narrators use of accents made the story hard to follow.

A New and Beautifully Dark Take On a Classic Genre

Revisado: 02-24-22

Silvia Moreno-Garcia shows her brilliant and diverse story telling range with one of the most original takes on a vampire story. Silvia Moreno-Garcia once again does an amazing job interweaving the world building of this alternate vampire reality, with in depth well developed characters and story, that keeps the reader captivated. Each facet of every character could be a story in itself and while the story has a strong satisfying conclusion, it leaves you begging for more.
The latest trend of limited series on streaming services would be a perfect venue for an adaptation of this neonoir gothic, but the book itself stands alone.
