There wasn't anything that stood out to me, the plot was predictable and the ending felt flat compared to all the build up. It was still an easy, solid read.

It is indeed Rebecca meets Mexican Gothic, although not as good as either, still a pretty solid horror book that kept wanting more.
Beatriz lost her father to politics and power changes, relegated with her mother to be a “servant” in her aunts house she jumps at the chance of marrying, even though the groom is involved in the same group that got her father killed, still she knows she will have her hacienda to rule over and finally the financial independence she wishes for. However, the house has other plans, and as soon as she arrives she feel the hatred and the malice of it.
Thankfully, the hacienda and farmlands are also the home base of the new padre Andrés, returned two years before Beatriz, he is now called again to his land to help the girl in need, and he is more than meets the eye, he has in him the heritage of the old witches.
This was such a great coming of age, romance, horror story, it kept glued to the pages to know what would happen next. It’s predictable from the start, at least it was for me, and struggles with very repetitive sentiments and sentences, still for a debut I found it quite good and entertaining.
No, I didn’t get scared, I never do, and no it’s not super gruesome although there’re a lot of grim, gory moments even, and a lot a lot of tense ones.
If the premises appeal to you I definitely recommend you to give it a try now that Spooky Season is coming 🎃👻🔪
