pickStar-crossed lovers—daughter of a wealthy ranchero and a peón of the ranchero—grew up together. But when she‘s attacked by a monster, he has to carry her home, where everyone will assume he was the cause. The two become estranged. When the Texianse appear, ready to fight to take Mexico‘s land, the resulting war forces them back together. This is their story, with a side story about gory monsters that drink blood. I would have preferred ⬇️
Texreader the vampires be the main story because that‘s what I assumed from the title. And I wasn‘t especially fond of the resolution—it didn‘t seem irrational, and didn‘t have almost any of the vampirism tropes. Those tropes: that‘s why I read vampire stories. Despite my wishes not being fulfilled here, it‘s still an excellent story. I especially liked to read the Mexican perspective about the War. This is my final book for #LitsyAtoZ #letterV 🎉🎊 1w
Daisey I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but it absolutely did not match my expectations from the cover and blurb. 1w
