The Haunting of Alejandra

I like V. Castro. I enjoyed Queen of the Cicadas and Goddess of Filth. And that is why I found it so surprising to find the writing here choppy and weird. I almost DNF'D it.
It did greatly improve for me when we met Dr. Ortega. This is directly from my notes:
It kills me to give a female horror writer anything under a 4 star rating but this was problematic. Stiff, stilted language, repetition, too many things ripped me from the story. And the ending. She does something at the end a woman who wants custody of her children would never, ever do.
