If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, I would. From the first two chapters, I knew this was going to be one of the best books I've ever read, and boy did it deliver! Nena and Néstor felt so real. Their voices carried through so well, and all the emotions they felt hit me in the chest. The way their characters developed, how they've changed since they were children, what nine years apart did to them and what finding each other was like.... everything just had a GRIP on me. I will be thinking about this book forever. What an incredible novel.

The portrayal of vampires is also so interesting. I don't think I've read another book featuring vampires that uses them in this way. Paired with the background of the Mexican-American war... absolutely stunning. Easily one of my favorite historical fiction novels ever. Please read this book.
