taylerearl 's review for:

The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas
5.0
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Look, I know 5 stars is a big rating. But this story had me from the first few pages. The setting is so lavishly developed, the characters are real and alive, and the plot is paced so nicely that you have time to really settle in to the atmosphere before the heat is turned up ever so slightly over the course of the book, relentlessly smoldering in the end. 

And when it comes to strong female characters, it is done so right here. 

I just loved this and can’t wait to read Vampires of El Norte.
