Why read it?

1 author picked Vampires of El Norte as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Isabel Cañas leans into romance and historical fiction, delivering a slow-burn, Gothic tale of passionate lovers caught between the horrors of war and supernatural terror. The romantic tension generated from the cat-and-mouse dynamic between Néstor and Nina pairs perfectly with the predatory hunt of the vampires.

The monsters are unique, scary, and absolutely worth the price of admission. Cañas knows how to balance the horror with vivid, bloody intensity and the romance at the same time. An atmospheric, scenic follow-up to the Hacienda that hits the sweet spot for readers craving tender romance wrapped in historical horror.

From Sadie's list on horror with a slow burning romance.
