I agree with other reviewers - definitely more historical romance with spooky elements than horror, really. Personally, I preferred The Hacienda, but I really think I've found a new auto-read author!

I loved both Nena and Nestor’s characterizations. I fell in love with both of them and was rooting for them. Her writing is so visceral it makes your heart skip a beat or ache for these characters.
There are quite a few Spanish words throughout the book but it’s not hard to look up any unknown words. I will also note that I think the book is romance first with the vampire plot being a sub-plot but still very significant. Overall I really enjoyed this read.
