Vampires of El Norte
by Isabel Cañas
I enjoyed the mix of historical romance and gothic thriller that Cañas gives us. Mexican history isn’t something I have learned much about before, so it was interesting to learn about this.
I enjoyed the mix of Spanish and English. There were a few terms I had to look up, but the mix of English and Spanish terms just added to the atmosphere. The audiobook was brilliant too, and prevented me from butchering a load of pronunciations in my head 😂
I enjoyed the mix of genres (a little horror, a little romance, and lots of history), and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the historical elements.
Néstor and Nena were both enjoyable POVs to follow. I enjoyed both POVs almost equally, with maybe a little preference for Néstor as a character. I did feel for him quite a bit with how hard Nena was on him for leaving, but I understand her reaction, too.
The vampires were really good. They were fairly monstrous and definitely felt menacing.
