Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Amanda Swindle

Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved the premise of this story, and it definitely caught my attention. My only REAL complaint (if you want to call it that) is the story is just too short for me. At 120 pages, you are only getting what I would call the bare minimum. The characters were good, the writing style was definitely there, and the story/plot has great potential. I am very familiar with La Llorona so maybe I am heavily biased about what I expected going in. The main character, Mercy, is easily relatable for most people, and easy to like as the protagonist. She is well written and has character depth and advancement. I also enjoyed how the author added in some more serious topics that today’s society faces, adding again to the relatable aspect. There are also so many quotable one liners in this book, and specific parts that stood out to me. I did actually enjoy this book quite a bit, but reading it cover to cover in 1 sitting left me wanting more.
