4.0

Despite its fair share of horrifying scenes, but the book is more of a romance and a metaphor of the Americans stealing the Northern lands of Mexico than a horror. Canas is great at writing the seeping tension and the horrific scenes that break up the similarly well-written romantic tension. Nestor was definitely a high point as well. Nena was at times very frustrating - which definitely held the book back from being as excellent as the Hacienda.
