Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas
Did not finish book. Stopped at 69%.
I gave this a good try, I really did, but I'm pulling the plug.
This is too boring for me. Calling this "Vampires of El Norte" was a mistake because the vampires are an afterthought and adding "horror" into the mix of identifying genders for this is just a lie, there isn't even one creepy moment. I wouldn't mind any of that if I found the characters or the romance compelling, but I just don't. Historical can be hit or miss for me, and this is a miss. It's a slog to get through and I just don't want to continue with it.
I'm glad I read The Hacienda and know what this author can do when she does hit the nail on the head with the horror/historical/romance/fantasy mix, but this wasn't it.
