I'm about 70% through Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. It's not bad, but I think I like Noemí more than I like the book itself.

I struggled a bit with that read myself. It uses a lot of classic gothic tropes and was a bit slow moving for me, (think Castle of Otranto) but my friend absolutely loved it.
