"When faced with an inexplicable death, everyone had a theory; no one was immune to the need to understand." The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes kicked my reading for 2024 and it really got me off to a great start. The writing was slow paced and atmospheric. It really had me paying attention to every detail of the story. I love an unreliable narrator and the character of Maya kept me questioning whether it was mental illness, substance withdrawal, an unusual coincidence or a force of something supernatural. Reyes really did a great job of keeping the reader in Maya's head by toggling back and forth between timelines. I had a sense of dread throughout, especially about Maya's safety because of her vulnerable state and how she continued to keep secrets. I was able to guess the modus operandi of the antagonist and I hoped for a greater exploration at the end. I am hoping that there will be another book and that we will see the villain again because he was so creepy but fascinating at the same time. What made the storytelling so stellar were the ways that Reyes cleverly interspersed Guatemalan history and folklore into the main plot. One of the lessons of this one was that the past and our ancestors continue to teach us and warn us of things to come. Reyes conveyed this so perfectly through the use of Maya's father and his backstory. I also loved that Maya was a bookworm and loved magical realism. Reyes made a point to state how magical realism was a way for Latinx writers to push back against colonization and cultural lenses that don't include marginalized people. Overall this was a stunning debut and I cannot wait to read more from Reyes. If you're into eerie, atmospheric reads that show you, rather than tell you, pick this one up. The mind bending alone will keep you interested until the end.

Happy New Year! My 2023 will continue to be mood reading what I want when I want. My first read is The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes which will be out 1/3. I'm in the mood for a mystery/thriller and this one already had me intrigued. Thanks you @duttonbooks for the gifted copy. QOTD: What is your first 2023 read going to be? 🏠🌲 SYNOPSIS 🏠🌲 Armed with only hazy memories, a woman who long ago witnessed her friend's sudden, mysterious death, and has since spent her life trying to forget, sets out to track down answers. What she uncovers, deep in the woods, is hardly to be believed.... Maya was a high school senior when her best friend, Aubrey, mysteriously dropped dead in front of the enigmatic man named Frank whom they'd been spending time with all summer. Seven years later, Maya lives in Boston with a loving boyfriend and is kicking the secret addiction that has allowed her to cope with what happened years ago, the gaps in her memories, and the lost time that she can't account for. But her past comes rushing back when she comes across a recent YouTube video in which a young woman suddenly keels over and dies in a diner while sitting across from none other than Frank. Plunged into the trauma that has defined her life, Maya heads to her Berkshires hometown to relive that fateful summer--the influence Frank once had on her and the obsessive jealousy that nearly destroyed her friendship with Aubrey. At her mother's house, she excavates fragments of her past and notices hidden messages in her deceased Guatemalan father's book that didn't stand out to her earlier. To save herself, she must understand a story written before she was born, but time keeps running out, and soon, all roads are leading back to Frank's cabin.... Utterly unique and captivating, The House in the Pines keeps you guessing about whether we can ever fully confront the past and return home. #TheHouseInThePines #AnaReyes #DuttonPartner #currentlyreading #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #amreading #tbr #igreads #thrillers #debutnovel #bookphotos #reading #bookish #booksbooksbooks #mystery #cabininthewoods #Guatemala #latinxbooks #latinxauthors #latinxbookstagram #read https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5UhXbLV9D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
