i LOVED beatriz, such a badass and cool woman with strong ideas and such a kind heart i was afraid
i strongly recommend it for people looking for "sentient" houses, strong characters that go through exceptionally hard times but still find the strength to survive, and for the forbidden romance lovers 👀

This was perfect to me. It had the Crimson Peak/Haunting of Hill House vibes, but set in Mexico after the Mexican Revolution so there’s also elements of colonialism and racism being explored (and let me tell you, whoever is reading this, the colorism Beatriz had to face had me HEATED, like the audacity these bitches had to say this shit to her 🤬). And of course, because I am a romance lover to my core, there was a romance and it had me on the edge of my seat waiting for just a touch or a look between the two characters 🥹.
I just really love everything about this book, it feels like it was written specifically for me and I absolutely adore it. I love that Isabel took a ghost story and gave it so many layers and made everything so vivid so there were moments I felt I couldn’t catch my breath with the lead characters as they encountered what was haunting the hacienda. I recommend this 1000000%
