Publisher's summary

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Vampires, vaqueros, and star-crossed lovers face off on the Texas-Mexico border in this supernatural western from the author of The Hacienda.

As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters—her home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their blood and leaves them for dead.

Something that once attacked Nena nine years ago.

Believing Nena dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever since, moving from ranch to ranch working as a vaquero. But no amount of drink can dispel the night terrors of sharp teeth; no woman can erase his childhood sweetheart from his mind.

When the United States invades Mexico in 1846, the two are brought abruptly together on the road to war: Nena as a curandera, a healer striving to prove her worth to her father so that he does not marry her off to a stranger, and Néstor as a member of the auxiliary cavalry of ranchers and vaqueros. But the shock of their reunion—and Nena’s rage at Néstor for seemingly abandoning her long ago—is quickly overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh.

And unless Nena and Néstor work through their past and face the future together, neither will survive to see the dawn.

Compelling love story

I love hearing stories with the rich history of Mexico and this delivered along with a love story n a dash of vampires. I was hooked and didn’t want this story to end.

Multi faceted enjoyable read

Beautifully written, enchanting, frightening at times! This book holds a symphonic blend of forbidden romance, historical backdrop, building dread, and adventure! And I’m a big fan of the context of the vampires and the evil they represent, plus, this is an actual scary vampire book, j

Eeriness meets love

A phenomenal book written by Isabel Canas. Who has mastered the skill of eloquently telling stories with so much depth and details in her characters and description as she weaves together stories of young forbidden love. But she does so while adding layers of eeriness to her tales.
