The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas
5.0
It's been a while since I've come across a horror themed novel that really got my attention. This book was so well written, and the plot really sucks you in!
Although this book is compared to Mexican Gothic, I thought the only similarity lies in the setting (Mexico/Spanish words being used). The Hacienda sets itself apart with its concise, clear descriptions of the horrifying hauntings happening in the house (without droning on). As a reader, I felt the fears and thoughts running in Beatriz' mind, along with the inner battle of morality Father Andres has to face.
Absolutely loved the dynamic between Beatriz and Andres, as well as the Forbidden Love theme that runs with the horror plotline. This book is quite entertaining, and I'd highly recommend it if you're okay with reading about ghosts.
