Who knew horror and romance would blend so well together?
This Mexican Western started off a bit slow, but mostly because while it's written in English many of the nouns are in untranslated Spanish. To start I kept putting the book down to look up what the words meant, but once I had a basic understanding that added element actually really added to the story.
I loved the love story here, second chances, overcoming odds etc, and the depiction of a Vampires as actual monsters was refreshing.
I do wish there was a glossary I could have referenced for the terms, I think that would have been a good addition.
Really enjoyed this!
