The overall plot of the tale had me totally captivated. Her inner monologue about not wanting to burden others, not asking for help, and forcing herself to swallowing down her anger really hit home for me. I felt so protective of her immediately and wanted to reach through my kindle screen to give her a hug. I empathized with the main character, Lourdes, in many ways and wished for the very best for her. V has such a beautiful way to touch upon things like this in a blunt and perfect format that still flows perfectly, but sinks its teeth into you so the words can stick around. I also like how much commentary there was on very important topics.
As a teenager, I always wished I had a group like this, minus the intrigue to do a séance of course! I’m too much of a chicken for that! I also really enjoyed that there was history included here with the Nahuatl language, which was from of the characters Aztec ancestors. I really enjoyed that this tale centered around the love of friends. This spirit has some stories to tell, and while she waits for the girls to figure out how to make that happen, she feasts on sin.
This isn’t just any spirit though, and while the spirit can take over when she likes, she actually works with Fernanda. Turns out that Fernanda, who has a strong internal desire to do great things, has walked away from the event with a spirit in her. Unable to snap her out of it, they turn the lights back on, and she falls to the ground and passed out cold. Quiet and serious Fernanda starts speaking a language they can’t understand. Soon after beginning, something happens that startles them all. After all, what’s the worst that can happen? They think that they’re just doing this for fun and aren’t taking it too seriously. In attendance is Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline. One summer, a group of friends tries to call upon ancient spirits. Let’s dive in! My Thoughts on Goddess of Filth by V. Castro is a story about the love a group of friends and how tough their bond is when they are tested after one of them is possessed.Ĭontent Warning: Human trafficking, self mutilation ( very brief).
