Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas
4.0
The vampires were good, especially the solution. The romance was kind of mid, they often frustrated me, but I liked Nena as a character. Also, this is entirely my own "fault", but I'm realizing that I really can't handle bigoted/strict parents who would rather make their child miserable than lose a tiny bit of their reputation.
There's a lot of class difference between Nena and Néstor, which was an interesting conflict - they love each other, but can they really bridge that gap of expectations?
Unsurprisingly, the real monsters are not the vampires, but the white people.
I gotta say, you kind of need either a dictionary or a decent knowledge of Spanish for this one, because I still don't know what a lot of the words mean.
